'Durate variant with clinical signs' has alpha1 -antitrypsin genotype ZZ.
A patient with neonatal jaundice and cirrhosis who was previously reported homozygous for the Durate variant of galactose-1-phosphate uridyl transferase has the ZZ genotype for alpha1-antitrypsin. A sister of the patient, also with ZZ genotype, is less severly affected with liver disease and is a heterozygote for the Durate variant. Since a number of patients with ZZ genotype of alpha1-antitryp...
متن کاملIdentification of a novel alpha1-antitrypsin variant
Alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency (A1ATD) is a genetic condition caused by SERPINA1 mutations, which results into decreased protease inhibitor activity in the serum and predisposes to emphysema and/or to liver disease due to accumulation of the abnormal protein in the hepatic cells. In most cases the clinical manifestations of A1ATD are associated with PIZZ (p.Glu366Lys; p.Glu366Lys (p.Glu342Lys; ...
متن کاملAlpha1-antitrypsin deficiency: a clinical-genetic overview
Severe α1-antitrypsin deficiency (AATD) is an inherited disorder, leading to development of emphysema in smokers at a relatively young age with disability in their forties or fifties. The emphysema results from excessive elastin degradation by neutrophil elastase as a result of the severe deficiency of its major inhibitor α1-antitrypsin (AAT). The AAT expression is determined by the SERPINA1 ge...
متن کاملAlpha1-antitrypsin review.
Alpha1-antitrypsin (AAT) deficiency was first described in 1963 together with its associations with severe early-onset basal panacinar emphysema. The genetic defects leading to deficiency have been elucidated and the pathophysiologic processes, clinical variation in phenotype, and the role of genetic modifiers have been recognized. Strategies to increase plasma (and hence tissue) concentrations...
متن کاملAlpha1-antitrypsin deficiency with M-like phenotype.
A patient with a low serum concentration of alpha1-antitrypsin (0-1 g/l) but with an M-like phenotype is described. Her parents and 2 sibs have a PIM phenotype, but all except the father have approximately half-normal levels of alpha1-antitrypsin: The M-like variant apparently cannot be distinguished from M-alpha1-antitrypsin, when it occurs with M in heterozygotes. The proposita has severe air...
