✦ Synopsis

Hereditary angioedema (HAE) is caused by mutations in the C1 inhibitor gene (SERPING1, C1NH) and the result is C1 inhibitor deficiency, either in levels or function. We have searched exon 8 for mutations by direct sequencing and analyzed the rest of the exons by SSCP in 87 Spanish families affected by HAE. Out of 87 screened families, we have detected exon 8 mutations in 26. Among these, 17 different mutations were identified: 14 point mutations and 3 frameshift. Seven of the point mutations and the three frameshift were not previously reported. Mutations were: S438P; R444P; V451G; W460X; V468D; G471E; X479R; S417fsX427; I440fsX450; E429fsX450. The rest of the families presented previously reported mutations, 5 missense and two nonsense. In none of the 26 families was an additional change identified in the rest of the exons by SSCP, and, in 20 out of the 22 families with point mutation, we verified that the mutation did not affect a healthy relative. Seven of these families had no history of the disease, and in five of them we were able to verify that the progenitors did not have the mutation. Therefore, they were de novo mutations.

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

Hereditary angioedema (HAE) is due to a variety of defects in the C1 inhibitor gene (C1NH gene), including approximately 20% of partial deletions/duplications whose boundaries are usually within Alu repeats. To ensure complete molecular characterization of C1 inhibitor deficiencies a fluorescent mul
