Overview of SERPING1 Variations Identified in Hungarian Patients With Hereditary Angioedema.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Hereditary angioedema (HAE) due to C1-inhibitor (C1-INH) deficiency (C1-INH-HAE) is a rare autosomal dominant disorder, characterized by recurrent, unpredictable edematous symptoms involving subcutaneous, and/or submucosal tissue. C1-INH-HAE may be caused by more than 700 different mutations in the gene encoding C1-INH (SERPING1) that may lead to decreased protein synthesis or to functional deficiency.

Methods

Concentrations of C1-INH, C4, C1q, and anti-C1-INH antibodies, as well as functional C1-INH activity were determined in subjects suffering from edematous symptoms and admitted to the Hungarian Angioedema Center of Reference and Excellence. In those patients, who were diagnosed with C1-INH-HAE based on the complement measurements, SERPING1 was s
