Alpha- 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...

www.thelancet.com Published online May 28, 2015 http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/S0140-6736(15)60036-8 1 α1 antitrypsin is a serine antiprotease secreted by the liver. Its main function is inhibition of neutrophil elastase, a non-specifi c protease released by activated or dying neutrophils. In individuals with healthy concentrations of α1 antitrypsin, the fragile alveolar structures of the lung paren...
متن کامل-antitrypsin misfolding
We were all taught that proteins have to fold correctly to be active and that the primary sequence of amino acids acts as the ’blueprint‘ for successful, productive folding. in recent years, we have also learnt how sensitive that blueprint is to change. For example, a single amino-acid change in the protein sequence, or a subtle change in temperature at which folding takes place, can lead to th...
متن کاملInflammatory markers in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients with different α1 antitrypsin genotypes
INTRODUCTION Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) has been recently defined as a systemic pulmonary inflammatory disease, and congenital α1 antitrypsin deficiency is one of the well-established genetic risk factors for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The aim of our study was to evaluate the possible associations of α1 antitrypsin with inflammatory markers - CRP, sCD14, TNF-α, sTN...
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...
