Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency Associated COPD.

Clinics in Chest Medicine, 2020
Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (AATD) was the first genetic risk factor for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) described. In the more than 50 years since its description, the disease continues to provide insights into more common forms of COPD.

Alpha-1-antitrypsin augmentation therapy for alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency

The American Journal of Medicine, 1988
Alpha-1-antitrypsin (A1AT) deficiency is a genetic disorder characterized by low serum levels of A1AT and a high risk for the development of emphysema. A1AT is the principal inhibitor of neutrophil elastase, such that a deficiency of A1AT results in insufficient anti-elastase protection in the lower respiratory tract, thus allowing neutrophil elastase ...

Alpha-1-Antitrypsin

1976
Proteinasen sind proteinspaltende Enzyme, die normalerweise nicht als solche im Plasma vorkommen, sondern als Vorstufen, die ihre Aktivitat erst durch Interaktion mit einem oder mehreren Aktivatoren erhalten. Dabei handelt es sich entweder um „selbstandige“ Proenzyme oder um solche, die zu Kaskadensystemen gehoren (ein aus einer Vorstufe entstehendes ...

[Alpha 1-antitrypsin deficiency].

Revue des maladies respiratoires, 2016
Pulmonary emphysema and liver disease are the clinical expressions of alpha 1-antitrypsin deficiency, an autosomal recessive genetic disease.Alpha 1-antitrypsin deficiency is usually associated with the homozygous Z variant of the SERPINA1 gene.

Alpha-1-antitrypsin in malakoplakia

Virchows Archiv A Pathological Anatomy and Histology, 1982
Macrophages in malakoplakia contain large amounts of immunoreactive alpha-1-antitrypsin (AAT). The amount of AAT remains unchanged during the morphogenetic stages of the pathological process (early, granulomatous, fibrosing phases), and does not correlate with the number or the presence of Michaelis-Gutmann (M.G.) bodies.

Amelioration of Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency Diseases with Genome Editing in Transgenic Mice

Human Gene Therapy, 2018
Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (AATD) is a hereditary liver disease caused by mutations in the SERPINA1 serine protease inhibitor gene. Most severe patients are homozygous for PiZ alleles (PiZZ; amino acid E324K), which lead to protein aggregates in ...

Alpha-1-Antitrypsin Deficiency Panniculitis

Dermatologic Clinics, 2008
Alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency is a congenital error of metabolism linked to pulmonary (emphysema) and liver (cirrhosis) disease. Since 1972, panniculitis has been associated with this deficiency, initially related to Weber-Christian syndrome and finally as a differentiated entity.
