Update on and future perspectives for the diagnosis of alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency in Brazil

open access: yesJornal Brasileiro de Pneumologia, 2021
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.

Future Perspectives in the Diagnosis and Treatment of Liver Disease Associated with Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency

open access: yesGE: Portuguese Journal of Gastroenterology, 2023
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 ...

PROINFLAMMATORY CYTOKINE PROFILE IN PATIENTS WITH DIFFERENT ALPHA-1-ANTITRYPSIN PHENOTYPES

open access: yesМедицинская иммунология, 2016
Alpha-1-antitrypsin (A1AT) exerts a wide spectrum of protective effects, being focused on reduction of secondary injury in inflammation. Moreover, A1AT inhibits some serine proteases, and down-regulates production of proinflammatory cytokines.

Alpha1 antitrypsin deficiency due to an homozygous PI* Null Q0Cairo mutation: Early onset of pulmonary manifestations and variability of clinical expression

open access: yesRespiratory Medicine Case Reports, 2018
Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency is an autosomal, codominant disorder caused by mutations of the SERPINA1 gene. This genetic disorder is mainly associated with development of pulmonary emphysema and/or chronic liver disease and cirrhosis.Here we report a ...
