Summary

Carboxypeptidase-N deficiency (CPND) is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by episodic angioedema, acute or chronic urticaria, asthma, and/or allergic hypersensitivities such as hay fever. Homozygous individuals as well as their heterozygous family members have levels of carboxypeptidase N that are below the reference range, and heterozygotes are symptomatic, albeit to a generally milder degree (Mathews et al., 1980; Vincent et al., 2024).
