Preliminary evidence of improved liver biomarkers in adolescents with obesity and suspected metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease treated with semaglutide: A case series

JPGN Reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) affects 30%–40% of youth with obesity and lacks approved pharmacologic therapies. In this single‐center retrospective case series at a tertiary care safety‐net children's hospital, we evaluated five adolescents (mean age: 17.0 years; 100% Hispanic; 60% male; mean body mass index:

Testing Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency in Black Populations

Advances in Respiratory Medicine, 2023
Alpha-1 antitrypsin (AAT) deficiency (AATD) is an under-recognized hereditary disorder and a significant cause of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), a disease that contributes to global mortality.

α1-Antitrypsin deficiency. [PDF]

, 2016
α1-Antitrypsin deficiency (A1ATD) is an inherited disorder caused by mutations in SERPINA1, leading to liver and lung disease. It is not a rare disorder but frequently goes underdiagnosed or misdiagnosed as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease ...

Hepatopulmonary syndrome as presentation of pediatric metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatohepatitis

JPGN Reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Childhood obesity is rising and leading to serious co‐morbidities, among which is metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) predisposing individuals to cirrhosis. We describe a young 11‐year‐old Hispanic male who presented with hepatopulmonary syndrome secondary to cirrhotic portal hypertension from metabolic dysfunction‐

All-atom simulations reveal how single point mutations promote serpin misfolding

, 2018
Protein misfolding is implicated in many diseases, including the serpinopathies. For the canonical inhibitory serpin {\alpha}1-antitrypsin (A1AT), mutations can result in protein deficiencies leading to lung disease, and misfolded mutants can accumulate ...

PERCC1‐associated enteropathy: Diagnostic challenges and enteral autonomy achieved with teduglutide

JPGN Reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Congenital diarrheas and enteropathies (CODE) are rare inherited disorders characterized by early‐onset intractable diarrhea. Though progress has been made in elucidating the genetic basis of CODE, much remains to be discovered. Another challenge is the lack of curative therapies—treatment is primarily supportive including enteral and ...

Diagnosis of alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency by DNA analysis of children with liver disease

Arquivos de Gastroenterologia, 2001
Background - Alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency is a genetic disorder which is transmitted in a co-dominant, autosomal form. Alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency affects mainly the lungs and the liver leading, in the latter case, to neonatal cholestasis, chronic ...

Alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency and liver disease.

Acta Médica Portuguesa, 1981
In this review article only the liver disease associated with aipha-1-antitrypsin deficiency will be considered. For the well recognised association with lung disease the review by Mittman is recommended.
