Complex analysis of the national Hereditary angioedema cohort in Slovakia – Identification of 12 novel variants in SERPING1 gene

Background: Hereditary angioedema (HAE) is a rare autosomal dominant genetic disease characterised by acute episodes of non-pruritic skin and submucosal swelling caused by increase in vascular permeability. Objective: Here we present the first complex analysis of the National HAE Slovakian cohort wi...

description Background: Hereditary angioedema (HAE) is a rare autosomal dominant genetic disease characterised by acute episodes of non-pruritic skin and submucosal swelling caused by increase in vascular permeability. Objective: Here we present the first complex analysis of the National HAE Slovakian cohort with the detection of 12 previously un-published genetic variants in SERPING1 gene. Methods: In patients diagnosed with hereditary angioedema caused by deficiency or dysfunction of C1 inhibitor (C1–INH-HAE) based on clinical manifestation and complement measurements, SERPING1 gene was tested by DNA sequencing (Sanger sequencing/massive parallel sequencing) and/or multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification for detection of large rearrangements. Results: The Slovakian national cohort consisted of 132 living patients with confirmed HAE. We identified 51 index cases (32 families, 19 sporadic patients/112 adults, 20 children). One hundred seventeen patients had HAE caused by deficiency of C1 inhibitor (C1–INH-HAE-1) and 15 patients had HAE caused by dysfunction of C1 inhibitor (C1–INH-HAE-2). The prevalence of HAE in Slovakia has recently been calculated to 1:41 280 which is higher than average calculated prevalence. The estimated incidence was 1:1360 000. Molecular-genetic testing of the SERPING1 gene found 22 unique causal variants in 26 index cases, including 12 previously undescribed and unreported. Conclusion: The first complex report about epidemiology and genetics of the Slovakian national HAE cohort expands the knowledge of the C1–INH-HAE genetics. Twelve novel causal variants were present in the half of the index cases. A higher percentage of inframe variants comparing to other studies was observed. Heterozygous deletion of exon 3 found in a large C1–INH-HAE-1 family probably causes the dysregulation of the splicing isoforms balance and leads to the decrease of full-length C1–INH level.
