Abstract excerpt
Hereditary angioedema (HAE) is a rare condition characterized by episodic local edema involving various organs, which can be life-threatening in some cases. Among the three subtypes of the disease, HAE types I and II are known to be caused by heterozygous mutations in the SERPING1 gene encoding C1 inhibitor (C1INH). Although a number of mutations in the SERPING1 gene have been identified to date, the mechanisms...
