AATD lung disease is due to the relative deficiency in the blood and lungs of the alpha-1 antitrypsin (AAT) protein, a major circulating serine proteinase inhibitor. Overall, the pulmonary manifestations of AATD include the entire spectrum of disorders associated with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
Alpha-1 antitrypsin (A1AT) functions primarily to inhibit neutrophil elastase, and deficiency predisposes individuals to the development of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Severe A1AT deficiency occurs in one in 5000 to one in 5500 of the North American population.
Laurell and Eriksson first described alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (AATD) over 50 years ago, after observing the absence of the alpha-1 globulin band in the serum protein electrophoresis patterns of a few patients.1 Its association with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) would be discovered later.
