    RFLP analysis, the polymerase chain reaction and nucleotide sequencing have been used to characterise a C1-inhibitor gene mutation responsible for type I hereditary angio-oedema (HAE). A single base deletion (C-16698) from the eighth exon of the C1-inhibitor gene alters the reading frame of the exon and generates a premature translation termination codon. This represents the first report of this form of C1-inhibitor gene mutation in type I HAE.
