Abstract The polymerase chain reaction and nucleotide sequence analysis have been used to characterise a three nucleotide insertion in the eighth exon of one allele of the C1-inhibitor gene between nucleotides 16749 and 16750 in a kindred with type II hereditary angio-oedema (HAE). The effect of the resulting C1-inhibitor amino acid sequence alteration is discussed. This represents the first report of a nucleotide insertion in the C1-inhibitor gene causing type II HAE.
