We report a heterozygous, 2,009 base pairs (bps) genomic DNA deletion within the  SERPING1  gene that has not previously been reported in a case of type I hereditary angioedema (HAE). The patient is a 28-year-old Han Chinese female living in Hong Kong who has suffered from recurrent angioedema since adolescence, with increasing attack frequency as she entered adulthood; in the past, episodes occurred annually, but now occur every two to three months. The affected areas are not itchy and include common sites such as the left and right forearms, but without throat involvement. The patient also experiences epigastric pain. The patient's mother suffers from similar symptoms. A mutation in the serine protease inhibitor, clade G, member 1 ( SERPING1 ) gene is associated with HAE. Patients with HAE type I commonly carry either a small deletion within  SERPING1  or a truncated transcript. We performed a multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) assay on our indexed patient. Our result suggests a 2,009 bps deletion spanning across exons 5 and 6 within  SERPING1 . Although earlier literature has described other large DNA deletions encasing exons 5 and 6 in  SERPING1 , these DNA rearrangements were larger in size between 4 and 6 kbps, and the breakpoint locations were generally not determined due to technical constraints (Pappalardo et al., 2000; Duponchel et al., 2001; Roche et al., 2005; Loules et al., 2018; and Gö β wein et al., 2008). Our report describes mapping of this 2,009 bps in  SERPING1 . Using a combination of molecular techniques, we were able to confirm and locate this large heterozygous genomic DNA deletion that includes both exons 5 and 6 of  SERPING1 .
