Lung transplant outcomes for recipients with alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency, by use of alpha-1 antitrypsin augmentation therapy [PDF]

JHLT Open
Background: For patients with alpha-1 antitrypsin (AAT) deficiency, AAT augmentation therapy can be an important part of care. However, for those who require a lung transplant (LT), there is currently only limited information to guide the use of AAT ...

Expert Perspectives on the Management of Alpha 1-Antitrypsin Deficiency

Acta Médica Portuguesa, 2022
Alpha 1-antitrypsin deficiency is an inherited autosomal codominant disorder, which predisposes patients to lung and/or liver disease. Even though it is considered rare, it is one of the most frequent genetic disorders worldwide, albeit remaining ...

The impact of diagnostic delay on survival in alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency: results from the Austrian Alpha-1 Lung Registry

Respiratory Research, 2023
Background Alpha-1-antitrypsin (AAT) deficiency (AATD) is a genetic disorder that can manifest as lung disease. A delay between onset of symptoms and diagnosis of AATD is common and associated with worse clinical status and more advanced disease stage ...

An antibody raised against a pathogenic serpin variant induces mutant-like behaviour in the wild-type protein. [PDF]

, 2015
A monoclonal antibody (mAb) that binds to a transient intermediate may act as a catalyst for the corresponding reaction; here we show this principle can extend on a macro-molecular scale to the induction of mutant-like oligomerisation in a wild-type ...

Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency [PDF]

Archives of Disease in Childhood, 2001
α-1 antitrypsin is synthesised in the liver and protects lung alveolar tissues from destruction by neutrophil elastase. α-1 antitrypsin deficiency is a common autosomal recessive condition (1:1600 to 1:1800) in which liver disease results from retention of abnormal polymerised α-1 antitrypsin in the endoplasmic reticulum of hepatocytes, and emphysema ...

Alpha-1-antitrypsin: a novel human high temperature requirement protease A1 (HTRA1) substrate in human placental tissue. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
The human serine protease high temperature requirement A1 (HTRA1) is highly expressed in the placental tissue, especially in the last trimester of gestation. This suggests that HTRA1 is involved in placental formation and function.
