title: [Classification of urticaria and genetic angioedema].
abstract: Urticaria and genetic angioedema may be divided into three groups, according to their pathogenesis: anomaly of the complement system, physical origin or metabolic origin. Recent developments essentially concern hereditary angio-oedema, with location of the gene of the inhibitor of C1 esterase on chromosome 11 and the discovery of deletions or mutations of this gene in affected families.
