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...
متن کاملLiver disease and alpha 1-antitrypsin deficiency.
Discovery of AAT deficiency by Laurell and Eriksson in 1963 [2] provided a foundation for current thinking about the pathogenesis of pulmonary emphysema [3,4]. Although AAT deficiency has become one of the best understood genetic disorders at a molecular and protein level, many questions about the clinical disease remain unanswered. Current American and International research projects should pr...
متن کاملDetermination of Alpha 1-Antitrypsin Phenotypes and Genotypes in Iranian Patients
Alpha 1-antitrypsin (AAT) or alpha 1-protease inhibitor (PI) is the principal inhibitor of proteolytic enzyme in serum. Its phenotypic variability has been reported to be associated with liver, lung diseases and rheumatoid arthritis in humans. There is much documentation about high risk phenotypes of PI in some regions of the world, however, there are no reliable reports on these phenotypes and...
متن کاملWhy has it been so difficult to prove the efficacy of alpha-1-antitrypsin replacement therapy? Insights from the study of disease pathogenesis
Alpha-1-antitrypsin is the most abundant circulating protease inhibitor. It is mainly produced by the liver and secreted into the circulation where it acts to prevent excessive proteolytic damage in the lungs by the enzyme neutrophil elastase. The most common severe deficiency allele is the Z mutation, which causes the protein to self-associate into ordered polymers. These polymers accumulate w...
متن کاملThe comparison of a,AT phenotypes in some HBsAG-positive patients with and without cirrhosis in Tehran
Alpha-1- antitrypsin is the most important serine protease inhibitor in serum. This protein has several phenotypes. Some of these phenotypes such as MZ, M, Z, M, S, MS, ZZ,…. Cause a,AT deficiency which leads to damage in many tissues such as liver, lung, kidney. 60 patients and 28 healthy individuals (control group), aged 7-65 years old were studied for a,AT activity and a,AT phenotypes. The c...
