Hereditary Angioedema

Immunology and Allergy Clinics of North America, 2022
Hereditary angioedema (HAE) is a rare autosomal dominant genetic disorder that usual results from a decreased level of functional C1-INH and clinically manifests with intermittent attacks of swelling of the subcutaneous tissue or submucosal layers of the respiratory or gastrointestinal tracts.

Hereditary angioedema

Current Opinion in Pediatrics, 2005
Major advances have been made in understanding the clinical signs and symptoms, the pathophysiology and the treatment of hereditary angioedema. This disease that often begins in childhood is caused by partial absence of the plasma protein C1-inhibitor.

Hereditary Angioedema and Pregnancy

Obstetric Anesthesia Digest, 2009
Background:  Hereditary angioedema (HAE) is an autosomal dominant disease caused by a quantitative or functional defect in C1‐esterase inhibitor (C1‐INH). Patients with this deficiency present with episodes of angioedema which can be life‐threatening. Studies examining HAE and pregnancy are scarce with little known about the interrelationship between ...

Hereditary Angioedema

Southern Medical Journal, 1992
Hereditary angioedema is a rare disease resulting from a lack of functional C1 esterase inhibitor (C1 INH). Several genetic defects can cause decreased production of the protein or the synthesis of a biologically inactive form. A similar, acquired condition is occasionally seen, associated with malignancies or as an autoimmune process. Disease severity

Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, 2008
Hereditary angioedema is an episodic swelling disorder with autosomal dominant inheritance. Attacks are characterized by brawny, self-limited, nonpruritic edema of the deep dermal layers of the skin that most often involve the hands and feet. They usually begin in childhood and become more severe after puberty.

Hereditary Angioedema

Journal of Neuroscience Nursing, 2007
Hereditary angioedema (HAE) is a condition that results from an autosomal dominant trait. It manifests as attacks of swelling involving the extremities, trunk, abdominal viscera, face, neck, or airway. The attacks may occur spontaneously, without any identifiable trigger, or may be the result of a specific trigger, such as a minor tissue trauma.
