Correction to: Pathophysiology of Hereditary Angioedema (HAE) Beyond the SERPING1 Gene [PDF]
The original version of this article unfortunately contained a mistake. The image of Fig. 1 should be corrected. In the previous figure, we had shown that the plasma kallikrein cleaves both high molecular weight kininogen (HMWK) and low molecular weight kininogen (LMWK) to produce bradykinin. However, the plasma kallikrein activates only high molecular
