Modulation of keratinocyte growth factor (KGF) mRNA expression in human dermal fibroblasts grown in monolayer or within a collagen matrix.

abstract：:C1 inhibitor (C1INH) plays an important role in the classical pathway of the complement system. Mutations in C1INH gene cause quantitative or qualitative deficiencies in C1INH, which can lead to hereditary angioedema (HAE) type I or II. Here, we identified a novel frame-shift mutation c.1391-1445del55 (p.v464fsx556) i...
