The patient's daughter had recurrent skin angioedema and gastrointestinal pain attacks since age 12 years; therefore, with a normal C1-INH concentration and activity in both mother and daughter, a diagnosis of HAE type III was assumed. ./cache/cord-269776-hj1s3ipp.txt ./txt/cord-269776-hj1s3ipp.txt
