Alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency in Madeira (Portugal): the highest prevalence in the world.

Respiratory medicine - 1 Oct 2009

Abstract excerpt

Alpha-1-antitrypsin (AAT) deficiency is a common genetic disease which affects both lung and liver. Early diagnosis can help asymptomatic patients to adjust their lifestyle choices in order to reduce the risk of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). The determination of this genetic deficiency prevalence in Madeira Island (Portugal) population is important to clarify susceptibility and define the...
