Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (AATD) is a rare genetic disease characterized by reduced circulating levels of alpha-1 antitrypsin (AAT) due to the retention of misfolded AAT in the hepatocytes.

Most patients remain asymptomatic until the final stage in which liver transplantation becomes the o...
