Respirol Case Rep. 2022 Apr 14;10(5):e0936. doi: 10.1002/rcr2.936. eCollection 2022 May.

Abstract

Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency is an autosomal, codominant disorder caused by mutations of the SERPINA1 gene. Several mutations of SERPINA1 have been described associated with the development of pulmonary emphysema and/or chronic liver disease and cirrhosis. Here, we report a very rare PI*Q0parma variant identified for the first time in an Italian family originally from the city of Parma in Northern Italy.

Keywords: alpha‐1 antitrypsin deficiency; clinical manifestations; genotype; variant.
