Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Hereditary angioedema (HAE) is a group of genetic diseases characterized by recurrent, painful and potentially lethal tissue swelling. The most common form results from mutations in the SERPING1 gene, leading to reduced function of complement 1 inhibitor (C1-INH). Rarer forms with normal C1-INH may arise from mutations in the coagulation factor F12 gene, but mostly the genetic background is unknown....
