Exacerbations, health status and sibling pair comparisons in severe Alpha-1-Antitrypsin Deficiency [PDF]
Alpha-1-Antitrypsin Deficiency (AATD) is a risk factor for the development of early-onset emphysema and airflow obstruction. The current work defines exacerbations, lung function and health status in these patients including sibling pairs.

Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency: Principles of Care
Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency is an autosomal co-dominant inherited disorder that results in decreased circulating levels of alpha-1 antitrypsin (also known as alpha-1 proteinase inhibitor) and predisposes affected individuals to early onset lung and ...

Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency Liver Disease [PDF]
Liver disease in homozygous ZZ alpha-1 antitrypsin (AAT) deficiency occurs due to the accumulation of large quantities of AAT mutant Z protein polymers in the liver. The mutant Z protein folds improperly during biogenesis and is retained within the hepatocytes rather than appropriately secreted.

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.
