NCT ID NCT04032002

First seen Feb 05, 2026 · Last updated May 22, 2026 · Updated 19 times

Summary

This study looked at how certain immune cells (monocytes) behave in people with a rare genetic condition called hereditary bradykinetic angioedema, which causes sudden swelling. Researchers compared gene activity of two receptors (B1 and B2) on these cells between 30 patients and healthy volunteers. The goal was to learn more about inflammation and blood vessel health in this disease, not to test a treatment.
