Brief Summary
Hereditary angioedema (HAE) is a rare condition. It causes sudden swelling under the skin and inside the body, like in the belly, throat, or genitals. This swelling happens because of a temporary leak in blood vessels. HAE is classified based on the amount of a protein in the blood called C1 inhibitor (C1-INH): HAE with normal C1-INH levels and HAE with limited or insufficient C1-INH levels (C1-INH deficiency); HAE with C1-INH deficiency can be divided into Type1, with low levels of C1-INH, and Type 2, in which the protein is there, but does not work properly. This study will look at people with HAE Type1 or Type2. The main aim of this study is to describe the diagnosis and management of people with HAE Type1 or HAE Type2 in Egypt. Other aims are to learn more about people with HAE Type1 or Type2, including, but not limited to, other conditions they may have, family history, impact of HAE on daily life, if treatment is stopped and the reasons. During the study, information from already existing data in a participant's medical record will be reviewed and new data will be collected during routine visits of a participant to the study clinic.

Study Arms (2)
Retrospective Phase
All participants who were diagnosed with HAE-C1INH type1 or type2 from January 2015 to August 2025; retrospective clinical data will be extracted for 5 months exclusively from patients' medical charts, and no direct patient interaction will occur.
Prospective Phase
All participants with any newly diagnosed or admitted or follow-up HAE-C1INH type1 or type2; prospective clinical data will be actively collected over 12 months through routine visits and electronic data capture (EDC) entries.
Interventions
Eligibility Criteria
Adult and pediatric participants with HAE-C1INH type1 or type2, treated within a routine clinical setting in Egypt.
You may qualify if:
- The participant has a confirmed HAE-C1INH type1 or type2 diagnosis in medical records (based on clinical history and/or laboratory diagnosis in medical records).
- The participant was diagnosed and/or treated from January 2015 to August 2025.
- The participant has a physician-confirmed HAE-C1INH type1 or type2 diagnosis (based on clinical history and/or laboratory diagnosis).
- The participant signed an informed consent or assent.
- The participant should have had at least one visit to the treating physician/investigator during enrollment and the follow-up period.
- The participant was not enrolled in the study's retrospective phase.
You may not qualify if:
- Participant with AAE-C1INH (acquired angioedema), drug-induced angioedema (AE-DI) (example angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors-I \[ACE-I\] angioedema), allergic mediated angioedema, inflammatory angioedema, or idiopathic angioedema.
- HAE participants with normal C1-INH (HAE-nC1INH).
- Participant deemed unsuitable for participation for any reason, based on the investigator's clinical judgment.
