Pi∗S and Pi∗Z Alleles of SERPINA1 Gene Are Associated With Specific Variants of a BRD4-Independent Enhancer. [PDF]
Alpha‐1 antitrypsin deficiency (AATD) is a genetic disorder caused by specific variants in the SERPINA1 gene, which encodes AAT. The most common disease‐associated SERPINA1 variants are Pi ∗ S and Pi ∗ Z alleles, which cause moderate and severe AATD, respectively. Recent studies have reported the presence of a possible regulator of SERPINA gene cluster

The prevalence of PI*S and PI*Z SERPINA1 alleles in healthy individuals and COPD patients in Saudi Arabia: A case-control study. [PDF]
Alpha-1 antitrypsin (AAT) is an acute phase protein produced in hepatocytes. Its deficiency affects the lungs and liver. A case-control study was carried out to determine the prevalence of 2 common deficiency alleles, PI*S and PI*Z, for alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (AATD) in both healthy and chronic obstructive pulmmonary disease (COPD)-affected ...

Quantitative Lipid Profiling Reveals Major Differences between Liver Organoids with Normal Pi*M and Deficient Pi*Z Variants of Alpha-1-antitrypsin. [PDF]
Different mutations in the SERPINA1 gene result in alpha-1 antitrypsin (AAT) deficiency and in an increased risk for the development of liver diseases. More than 90% of severe deficiency patients are homozygous for Z (Glu342Lys) mutation.

Integral representation of vertical operators on the Bergman space over the upper half-plane
Let $\Pi $ denote the upper half-plane. In this article, we prove that every vertical operator on the Bergman space $\mathcal{A}^2(\Pi )$ over the upper half-plane can be uniquely represented as an integral operator of the form \begin{equation*} \left ...

Risk factors for symptom onset in PI*Z alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency [PDF]
In an early study of highly symptomatic patients with PI*Z alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (AAT), tobacco smoking was identified as a risk factor by comparing the age of symptom onset in smokers and nonsmokers. Age of symptom onset has not been well studied in relationship to other environmental exposures.Environmental exposures were assessed in 313 PI ...

Heterozygous carriage of the alpha1-antitrypsin Pi*Z variant increases the risk to develop liver cirrhosis [PDF]
Objective Homozygous alpha1-antitrypsin (AAT) deficiency increases the risk for developing cirrhosis, whereas the relevance of heterozygous carriage remains unclear. Hence, we evaluated the impact of the two most relevant AAT variants (‘Pi*Z’ and ‘Pi*S’), present in up to 10% of Caucasians, on subjects with non ...

Pionic transitions from $$Z_c(4020)$$ Z c ( 4020 ) to D wave charmonia
In the present work, we investigate the charmed meson loops contributions to the pionic transitions from $$Z_c(4020)^+$$ Z c ( 4020 ) + to the D wave triplets charmonia by using an effective Lagrangian approach.
