Gene therapy for alpha 1-antitrypsin deficiency.
Alpha 1-antitrypsin deficiency is associated with pulmonary emphysema and liver cirrhosis. The pathogenesis and treatment is reviewed with particular emphasis on gene therapy for emphysema. The technology of gene transfer using viruses and liposomes is developing fast and animal experiments have confirmed the feasibility of gene therapy for alpha 1-antitrypsin deficiency (AATD). So far only sub...

متن کاملAlpha- 1 Antitrypsin Deficiency in Children: Pulmonary Involvement
Introduction: α1-antitrypsin deficiency (α1-ATD) is one of the most common genetic disorders in white race, a usual cause of liver disease in children, and hepatopulmonary involvement in children and adult. The aim of this case description is presenting a child with early lung disease without liver parenchymal disorder. Case presentation: We describe a 13 year old boy because of exertional dysp...
متن کاملAugmentation therapy in alpha(1)-antitrypsin deficiency.
alpha(1)-Antitrypsin (AAT) deficiency is a common but under-recognised condition. Since its first description by Laurell and Eriksson in 1963, significant advances have been made in understanding the genetics, physiology and pathophysiology of this condition. The intravenous administration of purified AAT to AAT-deficient individuals has been shown to confer biochemical efficacy by raising the ...
متن کاملChallenges and Prospects for Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency Gene Therapy.
Alpha-1 antitrypsin (AAT) is a protease inhibitor belonging to the serpin family. A number of identified mutations in the SERPINA1 gene encoding this protein result in alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (AATD). A decrease in AAT serum concentration or reduced biological activity causes considerable risk of chronic respiratory and liver disorders. As a monogenic disease, AATD appears to be an attrac...
