Abstract

Sporadic and familiar forms of non-histaminergic angioedema and normal C1 inhibitor encompass a group of disorders possibly caused by bradikinin. We aimed to study the subgroups of hereditary angioedema with FXII mutation (FXII-HAE), unknown genetic defect (U-HAE) and idiopathic non-histaminergic acquired angioedema (InH-AAE). We screened the F12 locus in our cohort and delineated the clinical, laboratory and genetic features. Four families carried the p.Thr309Lys mutation in F12 gene. Haplotyping confirmed the hypothesis of a common founder. Six families were affected by U-HAE and 13 patients by sporadic InH-AAE. C4 levels were significantly lower in FXII-HAE than in InH-AAE. In the FXII-HAE group, none had attacks exclusively in high estrogenic states; acute attacks were treated with icatibant. Prophylaxis with tranexamic acid reduced the attack frequency in most patients. Our study provides new data on the diagnosis, clinical features and treatment of non-histaminergic angioedema, underlying the role of the screening for F12 mutations.

Blood Clotting Disorders

Thrombophilia includes conditions with increased tendency for excessive blood clotting. Blood clotting occurs when the body has insufficient amounts of specialized proteins that make blood clot and stop bleeding. Here is the latest research on blood clotting disorders.

Birth Defects

Birth defects encompass structural and functional alterations that occur during embryonic or fetal development and are present since birth. The cause may be genetic, environmental or unknown and can result in physical and/or mental impairment. Here is the latest research on birth defects.
