About

Hereditary angioedema (HAE) causes sudden, severe swelling attacks that can block airways or distort limbs without warning, often starting in childhood. Lonvoguran ziclumeran uses CRISPR gene editing to permanently disable the KLKB1 gene in liver cells, reducing production of the kallikrein protein that triggers these dangerous swelling episodes. By editing this genetic root cause, the one-time treatment could prevent future attacks without requiring lifelong medication.
