Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (AATD) is a genetic condition that may increase the risk of lung disease and other conditions. People with AATD lack the protective protein alpha-1 antitrypsin (AAT).

Alpha-1-antitrypsin is a so-called protease inhibitor, a type of enzyme inhibitor. It is produced in the liver but exerts its effects in the lungs, where it regulates immune cell activity. This ...

Patients with alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (AATD) faced an increased risk for cardiovascular disease based on aortic pulse wave velocity. In AATD, this measure was linked to proteinase 3 activity.

Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency, a monogenic disorder, shows variable disease progression despite identical mutations. Advanced proteomic and AI-based analyses reveal that early peroxisomal ...
