The Institute for Supporting Patients with Immune System Deficiencies, in collaboration with the Research Center for Immunology, Asthma, and Allergy, held a conference to commemorate World Hereditary Angioedema Day for patients and their families.
A conference was held on May 14 at the Research Center for Immunology, Asthma, and Allergy in Tehran to commemorate World Hereditary Angioedema (HAE) Day, organized in collaboration with the Institute for Supporting Patients with Immune System Deficiencies. The event was conducted both in person and virtually.

The conference featured expert talks by:
- Dr. Mohammadreza Fazlellahi on HAE diagnosis and treatment,
- Dr. Zahra Alizadeh on the genetic role in managing HAE,
