متن کاملAlpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency – A Genetic Risk Factor for COPD
Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (AATD) is a hereditary disorder characterised by low circulating levels of the key antiprotease alpha-1 antitrypsin (AAT) and is associated with the development of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), often by the 3rd or 4th decade, and liver disease. The two most common SERPINA1 mutations associated with AATD are the Z and S mutations, and the vast major...
متن کاملCase detection of alpha1-antitrypsin deficiency: does it help the patient or the doctor?
A lpha1-antitrypsin (a1-AT) deficiency is a common genetic disorder, with homozygous genotype Z as the most relevant deficient type for clinicians. In some parts of Europe, this phenotype is as prevalent as cystic fibrosis and for both disorders there is presently no cure for the disease, which has implications for genetic testing in many countries. In 2003, the European Respiratory Society and...
متن کاملThe Diagnosis and Management of Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency in the Adult.
Background: The diagnosis and clinical management of adults with alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (AATD) have been the subject of ongoing debate, ever since the publication of the first American Thoracic Society guideline statement in 1989.1 In 2003, the "American Thoracic Society (ATS)/European Respiratory Society (ERS) Statement: Standards for the Diagnosis and Management of Individuals with Al...
متن کاملDiagnosing α1-antitrypsin deficiency: how to improve the current algorithm.
Over the past 10-15 years, the diagnosis of α1-antitrypsin deficiency (AATD) has markedly improved as a result of increasing awareness and the publication of diagnostic recommendations by the American Thoracic Society (ATS)/European Respiratory Society (ERS). Nevertheless, the condition remains substantially underdiagnosed. Furthermore, when AATD is diagnosed there is a delay before treatment i...
