    摘要:

    遗遗传性血管性水肿(hereditary angioedema, HAE)是一种罕见的遗传性血管通透性异常疾病,大部分患者存在C1酯酶抑制物(C1 esterase inhibitor,C1-INH)水平和/或功能异常,但少部分患者C1-INH水平及功能正常,诊断较为困难[1]。文章报道1例以反复腹痛发作为首发表现,补体C4、C1-INH浓度及功能均正常,发作期患者影像学检查提示肠壁水肿增厚,而消化内镜检查未见明确器质性病变,经全外显子组测序发现血管生成素-1基因(angiopoietin-1 gene,ANGPT1)突变,诊断ANGPT1基因突变相关HAE(HAE-ANGPT1)。给予拉那利尤单抗(lanadelumab)治疗后,患者腹痛发作频率及疼痛程度较前减轻,但仍有复发,后经过规避诱因后症状控制良好。文章提示,对于反复发作、影像学表现为肠壁水肿,而内镜检查阴性的腹痛患者,应警惕HAE,当C1-INH浓度和功能正常者,遗传学检测有助于明确诊断。

    Abstract:

    Hereditary angioedema (HAE) is a rare inherited disorder characterized by increased vascular permeability. Most patients present with decreased levels and/or impaired function of C1 esterase inhibitor (C1-INH). However, a small proportion of patients have normal C1-INH levels and function, which makes the diagnosis more challenging.Here, we report a case of ANGPT1 mutation-associated HAE (HAE-ANGPT1) presenting with recurrent abdominal pain as the initial manifestation. The patient experienced repeated episodes of abdominal pain, while complement C4 levels as well as C1-INH concentration and function were within normal ranges. During attacks, abdominal imaging revealed intestinal wall edema and thickening, whereas gastrointestinal endoscopy showed no definite organic lesions. Whole-exome sequencing identified a mutation in the angiopoietin-1 gene (ANGPT1), leading to the diagnosis of HAE-ANGPT1.After treatment with lanadelumab, the frequency and severity of abdominal pain attacks were significantly reduced, although occasional recurrences still occurred. During follow-up, the patient achieved good symptom control after avoiding potential triggers, including psychological stress, infection, and mechanical trauma.This case suggests that HAE should be considered in patients with recurrent abdominal pain characterized by intestinal wall edema on imaging but negative endoscopic findings. For patients with normal C1-INH levels and function, genetic testing is helpful for establishing a definitive diagnosis.
