Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a group of conditions that cause breathing problems. The two main ones are chronic bronchitis and emphysema. Researchers have identified alpha-1 ...

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 deficiency (AATD) is a genetic disorder characterized by the misfolding and accumulation of the mutant variant of alpha-1 antitrypsin (AAT) within hepatocytes, which limits its ...

Alpha-1 antitrypsin (AAT) deficiency is a genetic disease where your body doesn’t make enough normal functioning AAT. AAT is a protein your liver makes. AAT has many important roles in your body, ...

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 ...

Please provide your email address to receive an email when new articles are posted on . Direct-to-consumer testing, combined with clinical follow-up, helped identify patients with undiagnosed alpha-1 ...

DALLAS – Tiny fat bubbles carrying gene therapy have successfully repaired DNA in the lungs and liver of animals with alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency — a promising leap toward treating humans with this ...

Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency, or AATD, is an inherited disease that affects the lung, liver, and skin. The current treatment landscape involves smoking cessation, COPD treatment, and augmentation ...

BEAM-302 demonstrated safety and efficacy in increasing AAT levels and reducing mutant protein in alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency patients. Beam Therapeutics announced promising initial results from ...
