✦ Synopsis


Restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis, the polymerase chain reaction and nucleotide sequencing have been used to characterise a single base substitution (G----T) at nucleotide 8863 in the C1-inhibitor gene. This destroys the 5' donor splice site recognition motif of the sixth intron. Family studies suggest that the mutation is responsible for type I hereditary angio-oedema in a studied kindred.

Communicated by Mark H. Paalman Hereditary angioedema (HAE) is a disorder characterised by recurrent attacks of localized subcutaneous or submucosal edema. It is inherited in an autosomal dominant fashion and caused by a deficiency of C1 inhibitor (C1 inh, or C1NH). Most patients with HAE have an ab
