Hereditary angioedema is an autosomal dominant disorder caused by defects in C1-esterase inhibitor (C1-INH), resulting in poorly controlled activation of the kallikrein-kinin system and bradykinin overproduction. C1-INH is a heavily glycosylated protein in the serine protease inhibitor (SERPIN) family, yet the role of these glycosylation sites remains unclear. To elucidate the functional impact of N-glycosylation in the SERPIN domain of C1-INH, we engineered four sets consisting of 26 variants at or near the N-linked sequon (NXS/T).

Aim And Background: Angioedema is a nonpruritic swelling that typically affects the skin, mucous membranes of the face, and perioral soft tissues. It can be life-threatening, but it is usually not and can be treated conservatively unless the airway is compromised.

Background: Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors (DPP-4is) and drugs interfering with the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) are frequently co-prescribed in type 2 diabetes management. Both drug classes have been independently associated with angioedema, raising concerns about potential interaction risks. This study aimed to evaluate the safety signals and interaction patterns for angioedema associated with DPP-4is alone and in combination with RAAS-interfering drugs.
