“As HAE is a hereditary disorder, it is very important to have other family members tested. To help patients in this process we have developed two documents for patients and one for physicians,” says Mr.
HAEi is a global organization dedicated to raising awareness of C1 inhibitor deficiencies as HAE patients have a defect in the gene that controls a blood protein called C1-inhibitor, and therefore the disorder is also commonly referred to as C1-inhibitor deficiency. HAEi is a non-profit international network of presently 61 national HAE patient organizations spread across the globe.
“HAEi is established to promote co-operation, co-ordination and information sharing between HAE specialists and national HAE patient associations in order to help facilitate the availability of effective diagnosis and management of C1 inhibitor deficiencies throughout the world. Our purpose is to join the efforts and experience of the global HAE community to achieve optimal standards of care and treatment for all those patients affected by C1 inhibitor deficiencies,” says Mr.
