Does your family share the HAE gene?
Every family has shared genes
Maybe it's the blue eye gene or the red hair gene. Some families also share the HAE gene. Because HAE is genetic, it can be passed down through generations. If you or a loved one have HAE, it could mean other members of your family have HAE as well.

Patient portrayal.
HAE can be an unpredictable condition for you and your family.
If you or someone in your family has HAE, it’s hard to say when the next attack will happen. Or what part of the body it will affect. In fact, some children diagnosed with HAE may not have their first attack until they are older.
The 2020 US Hereditary Angioedema Association (HAEA) guidelines recommend:
- Regular review of any HAE management plan. This includes the consideration of long-term preventive treatment in children and adults
- TAKHZYRO as one of the first-line treatments for long-term prevention of HAE attacks in people 12 years of age and older
