Characterization of alpha-1 antitrypsin in a Pi∗ZZ patient with emphysema: a case report

Respiratory Medicine Case Reports
Background: Lung disease severity and progression vary widely among individuals with severe alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (AATD; Pi∗ZZ, Glu342Lys). In addition to low levels of polymerized Z mutant AAT (Z-AAT), this variability may result from other ...
