We present a 31- year-old female with recurrent severe abdominal angioedema attacks since late childhood. Mucocutaneous angioedema attacks began in early adolescence, triggered by stress and mechanical stimuli, and hormonal changes, often proceded bya fatigue or chest discomfort. Assessment of C1INH level and function had not shown any deficiency C1-INH protein level and function. Because C1-INH protein level and function were normal, whole exome sequencing (WES) was performed, identifying a novel heterozygous missense mutation in MYOF. Family screening revealed the same mutation in her mother and brother. Her angioedema symptomswere partially controlled using daily tranexamic acid and weekly anti-androgenic agents, with fresh frozen plasma or Berinert reserved for severe attacks. Over the past two years, she developed slowly progressive weakness in her facial, proximal, and distal extremity muscles, causing fatigue, bilateral ptosis, and difficulty climbing stairs or rising from a chair. Neurological examination, EMG-NCV studies, and elevated serum creatine kinase (CK) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) levels confirmed reduced muscle strength and generalized myopathy. Additionally, she experienced palpitations and unprovoked sinus tachycardia, likely reflecting cardymyopathy secondary to myoferlin deficiency.  https://ijaai.tums.ac.ir/index.php/ijaai/article/view/4768 https://ijaai.tums.ac.ir/index.php/ijaai/article/download/4768/2372
