| | The patient was diagnosed with hereditary angioedema as a young child when he was observed to develop large "urticarial" swellings on various parts of his body. | | | He was free of major complications until the age of 23, when he developed episodic abdominal pain reportedly due to "swelling of his intestines", as well as painful swelling of his hands and feet. | | | There also seems to be an association of hereditary angioedema with systemic lupus erythematous and other autoimmune diseases. |

| | Heredity - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Although it was clear that traits were hereditary, the precise mechanism of heredity was however not clear. | | | Darwin's primary approach to heredity was to outline how it appeared to work (noticing that characteristics could be inherited which were not expressed explicitly in the parent at the time of reproduction, that certain characteristics could be sex-linked, etc.) rather than suggesting mechanisms. | | | Charles Darwin proposed a theory of evolution in 1859 and one of its major problems was a lack of coherent hereditary mechanism. |
