Deletions in < b > < i > SERPING1 < /i > < /b > Lead to Lower C1 Inhibitor Function: Lower C1 Inhibitor Function Can Predict Disease Severity

Conclusion: Deletion mutations may represent the most unfavorable effect on C1 inhibitor function. The earlier disease onset age could be a sign for lower C1 inhibitor function levels in adult life. C1q levels could also be low in C1-INH-HAE patients, as in acquired angioedema. Lower C1 inhibitor function can predict disease severity and may have negative impacts on the course of C1-INH-HAE.Int Arch Allergy Immunol
