C1 inhibitor gene sequence facilitates frameshift mutations.
Mutations disrupting the function or production of C1 inhibitor cause the disease hereditary angioneurotic edema. Patient mutations identified an imperfect inverted repeat sequence that was postulated to play a mechanistic role in the mutations. To test this hypothesis, the inverted repeat was cloned into the chloramphenicol acetyltransferase gene in pBR325 and its mutation rate was studied in ...
متن کاملMutations analysis of C1 inhibitor coding sequence gene among Portuguese patients with hereditary angioedema.
Mutations that modify the amino acid sequence of C1-INH (except Val458Met) are associated with HAE. More than 200 different mutations scattering the entire C1-INH gene have been reported. The main objective of this study was to report the mutational findings in a HAE cohort of 138 Portuguese patients followed in specialized consultation all over the country. DNA was extracted from peripheral bl...
متن کاملCpG mutations in the reactive site of human C1 inhibitor.
C1 inhibitor plays an important role in the regulation of vascular permeability through its ability to inactivate enzymes which release polypeptide kinins. Dysfunctional C1 inhibitor molecules are present in the plasma of affected members of the Da and Ri hereditary angioneurotic edema kindreds. We constructed genomic libraries from Da and Ri patient DNAs which had been cleaved with BclI to gen...
متن کاملA cluster of mutations within a short triplet repeat in the C1 inhibitor gene.
Mutations in the C1 inhibitor gene that result in low functional levels of C1 inhibitor protein cause hereditary angioneurotic edema. This disease is characterized by episodic edema leading to considerable morbidity and death. Among 60 unreported kindred with the disease, four patients were discovered to have mutations clustered within a 12-bp segment of exon 5 from nucleotide 8449 to nucleotid...
متن کاملExpression of platelet C1 inhibitor.
Human platelets contain a pool of C1 inhibitor (C1 INH) distinct from that in plasma. Twelve normal platelet samples washed by centrifugation had a mean platelet C1 INH antigen level of 19.3 +/- 2.8 ng (mean +/- SEM) per 10(8) platelets. These values contrast with the mean +/- SEM platelet C1 INH antigen level of 6.1 +/- 0.9 per 10(8) platelets from 12 C1 INH-deficient patients. The level of pl...
