Idiopathic Hemochromotosis and Alpha‐1‐Antitrypsin Deficiency: Coexistence in a Family with Progressive Liver Disease in the Proband [PDF]
A patient with coexistent hemochromatosis and alpha‐1‐antitrypsin deficiency which led to cirrhosis and death despite adequate therapy for hemochromatosis is reported. Evaluation of the family revealed first degree relatives with iron overload and others

alpha 1-antitrypsin deficiency.
Homozygous PIZZ alpha 1-antitrypsin deficiency, which has an incident of 1 in 1600 to 1 in 2000 live births, is the most common genetic cause of liver disease in children. It is also associated with chronic liver disease and hepatocellular carcinoma in adults. It is a well-known cause of pulmonary emphysema.

An antibody that prevents serpin polymerisation acts by inducing a novel allosteric behavior [PDF]
Serpins are important regulators of proteolytic pathways with an antiprotease activity that involves a conformational transition from a metastable to a hyperstable state. Certain mutations permit the transition to occur in the absence of a protease; when

Clinical features in patients with severe Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency due to rare genotypes
Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency (AATD) is a co-dominant condition associated with an increased risk of lung and liver disease. Since it is commonly thought that 95% of severe cases of AATD have PI*ZZ genotype, most studies about AATD have been focused on ...
