About CD55-Deficient Protein-Losing Enteropathy (CHAPLE) Disease

CHAPLE disease (also known as CD55 deficiency with hyperactivation of complement, angiopathic thrombosis, and protein losing enteropathy, or CD55-deficient protein-losing enteropathy) is an ultra-rare hereditary condition characterized by an inability to regulate complement activity because of mutations in the CD55 gene. In most patients, this leads to potentially life-threatening symptoms beginning in infancy, including abdominal pain, bloody diarrhea, vomiting, malnutrition, slow growth, and edema. There are fewer than 100 patients worldwide who are known to have CHAPLE disease.

About Hereditary Angioedema (HAE)

Hereditary angioedema is an inherited genetic disorder that can affect the autoimmune system, causing recurrent episodes of severe swelling, most commonly in the limbs, face, intestines, and airway. The condition is a result of low levels or improper functioning of a protein called C1 inhibitor. While minor trauma or stress could trigger an attack, swelling often occurs without a known trigger. Untreated, attacks can occur much more frequently, with some reported cases of daily incidents. It’s important to note that you can also be diagnosed with HAE without a family history as some diagnosed HAE patients are a result of a mutated gene, which is called De Novo Mutation.

About Nasal Polyps

Nasal polyps are benign, painless growths that develop in the lining of the nasal passages or sinuses. These soft, painless swellings result from chronic inflammation, often linked to conditions like allergies, asthma, or chronic sinusitis. Nasal polyps vary in size and may cause symptoms such as nasal congestion, diminished sense of smell, facial pain, or persistent runny nose. While small polyps may be asymptomatic, larger ones can obstruct airflow and contribute to breathing difficulties. Nasal polyps are prevalent across various age groups, with a higher occurrence in young and middle-aged adults.

Primary Immune Deficiency Disorders (PIDD)

Primary immunodeficiency disorders (PIDD) are a group of rare, genetic conditions characterized by a malfunctioning or absent immune system. Individuals with PIDD have weakened defense mechanisms, making them more susceptible to infections. This can lead to recurrent, severe, and often unusual infections that may be difficult to treat. PIDD can manifest in various ways, affecting different components of the immune system. Living with PIDD requires a proactive approach to minimize infection risks and promote overall well-being.
