Recurrent tensional pneumothorax led to diagnosis of alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency

2024-12-18

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (AATD) is a genetic condition caused by mutations in the SERPINA1 gene, leading to reduced levels of alpha-1 antitrypsin (AAT) in circulation. This deficiency predisposes most individuals to early development of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and other pulmonary complications, including secondary spontaneous pneumothorax (SSP). Therefore, we...
