| Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles
available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Hereditary
angioedema (types I and II) (also known as "Quincke edema" after
discoverer Heinrich Quincke) presents in the second to fourth decade,
and is characterized by local swelling in subcutaneous tissues.:152
Hereditary angioma is caused by a deficiency of the C1 inhibitor, a
protein of the complement system, a part of the immune system. Some
mutations produce low levels of C1 inhibitor (type I); others produce
normal levels of ineffective C1 protein (type II). |
