Prognostic Value of SERPINA1 as a Biomarker for Poor Survival of Gliomas
Background: Glioma is a primary brain tumor known for its aggressive behavior and poor prognosis. Alpha-1 antitrypsin (SERPINA1) is a protein with a crucial role in regulating inflammatory processes in the body.

Clinical Exome Sequencing in Unexplained Hyperferritinemia Reveals Digenic and Oligogenic Inheritance Beyond Iron Homeostasis. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Hyperferritinemia encompasses heterogeneous genetic etiologies beyond HFE‐related hemochromatosis. Current guidelines recommend testing for rare hemochromatosis genes, yet no consensus exists on comprehensive genomic approaches.

Identification and characterisation of eight novel SERPINA1 Null mutations [PDF]
Alpha-1 antitrypsin (AAT) is the most abundant circulating antiprotease and is a member of the serine protease inhibitor (SERPIN) superfamily. The gene encoding AAT is the highly polymorphic SERPINA1 gene, found at 14q32.1. Mutations in the SERPINA1 gene can lead to AAT deficiency (AATD) which is associated with a substantially increased risk of lung ...

SERPINA1 gene polymorphisms in a population‐based ALSPAC cohort [PDF]
Abstract Background There is an association between persistent preschool wheezing phenotypes and school‐age asthma. These wheezing/asthma phenotypes likely represent clinical entities having specific genetic risk factors.

SERPINA1 modulates expression of amyloidogenic transthyretin
Hereditary transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTR) is caused by amyloid deposition of misfolded transthyretin (TTR) in various tissues. Recently, reduction of circulating serum TTR, achieved via silencing oligonucleotides, was introduced as therapy of ATTR amyloidosis.

SERPINA1 Peptides in Urine as A Potential Marker of Preeclampsia Severity [PDF]
Preeclampsia (PE) is a multisystem disorder associated with pregnancy and its frequency varies from 5 to 20 percent of pregnancies. Although a number of preeclampsia studies have been carried out, there is no consensus about disease etiology and pathogenesis so far. Peptides of SERPINA1 (α1-antitrypsin) in urine remain one of the most promising peptide

Pleiotropic associations of heterozygosity for the SERPINA1 Z allele in the UK Biobank [PDF]
Homozygosity for the SERPINA1 Z allele causes α 1 -antitrypsin deficiency, a rare condition that can cause lung and liver disease. However, the effects of Z allele heterozygosity on nonrespiratory phenotypes, and on lung function in the general ...
