✦ Synopsis

Hereditary angioneurotic edema (HAE) is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by episodic local subcutaneous and submucosal edema caused by the deficiency of activated C1 esterase inhibitor protein (C1-INH, type I (C1NH): reduced serum antigen level, type II: reduced activity and normal serum antigen level). The aim of the present study was to determine the disease-causing mutations in the C1INH gene (SERPING1) among Hungarian HAE-patients. The estimated number of affected HAE-families in Hungary is 40-50, out of which 26 families (type I:23, type II:3) managed in a single center were enrolled in the current study. To detect large deletions/insertions, we used Southern-blotting analysis followed by real time PCR based gene dosage analysis. In the absence of large structural changes, we employed direct sequencing covering the whole coding region and splicing sites of the C1INH gene. Large deletions were detected in 4/23 (17.4%) type I families. We found the g.16788C>T (p.Arg444Cys) mutation in each 3, type II HAE-families. In the remaining type I families, 13 previously unreported mutations (g.638G>A, g.2238C>T, g.2534_2535delCT, g.2579_2620del42, g.2533G>A, g.2695G>A, g.2696_2697insT, g.4467C>T, g.14224A>T, g.14107delA, g.16749_;16775dup, g.16810T>A, g.16885C>G) were detected in 16 families affecting primarily exon 3 (6/13) of the C1INH gene. In the 3 remaining families, known mutations were identified affecting primarily exon 8 (2/3).

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

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
