Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency: clarifying the role of the putative protective threshold
Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (AATD) is the only readily identifiable monogenic cause of COPD. To date the only condition-specific treatment for AATD-associated COPD is weekly administration of intravenous plasma-purified human alpha-1 antitrypsin (IV ...

Update on and future perspectives for the diagnosis of alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency in Brazil
Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (AATD) is a rare genetic disorder caused by a mutation in the SERPINA1 gene, which encodes the protease inhibitor alpha-1 antitrypsin (AAT). Severe AATD predisposes individuals to COPD and liver disease.

The spectrum of clinical sequelae associated with alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency
Alpha-1 antitrypsin (AAT) deficiency (AATD) is an autosomal co-dominant condition that predisposes to the development of lung disease, primarily emphysema.

The Mechanism of Mitochondrial Injury in Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency Mediated Liver Disease
Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (AATD) is caused by a single mutation in the SERPINA1 gene, which culminates in the accumulation of misfolded alpha-1 antitrypsin (ZAAT) within the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) of hepatocytes.

The undiagnosed disease burden associated with alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency genotypes
Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (AATD), mainly due to the PI*ZZ genotype in SERPINA1, is one of the most common inherited diseases. Since it is associated with a high disease burden and partially prevented by smoking cessation, identification of PI*ZZ ...

Severe alpha‐1‐antitrypsin deficiency increases the risk of venous thromboembolism
Severe alpha‐1‐antitrypsin deficiency (AATD), phenotype PiZZ, is associated with increased risk of liver disease and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), but the risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) is unknown.

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.

Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (AATD) is one of the most common genetic diseases and is caused by mutations in the SERPINA1 gene. The homozygous Pi*Z variant is responsible for the majority of the classic severe form of alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency ...
