[7] Hereditary angioedema with normal C1-inhibitor is a genetically heterogeneous disorder.
Garadacimab is an experimental human monoclonal antibody under investigation for the treatment of hereditary angioedema. [1] Garadacimab is a monoclonal antibody against the activated coagulation factor XIIa (FXIIa), with potential anti-inflammatory and anticoagulant activities. [2] [3]

[2] It is an inhibitor of the protein kallikrein and a 60-amino acid polypeptide which was developed from a Kunitz domain through phage display to mimic antibodies inhibiting kallikrein.
BMN 331 is an experimental gene therapy for hereditary angioedema, delivered by adeno-associated virus type 5 and targeting the SERPING1 gene. [1] [2] References
The hereditary form (HAE) often goes undetected for a long time, as its symptoms resemble those of more common disorders, such as allergy or intestinal colic. An important clue is the failure of hereditary angioedema to respond to antihistamines or steroids, a characteristic that distinguishes it from allergic reactions. It is particularly ...
