Modeling of Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency with Syngeneic Human iPSC-Hepatocytes Reveals Metabolic Dysregulation and Cellular Heterogeneity in PiMZ and PiZZ Hepatocytes
2022-02-03
Abstract excerpt
Individuals homozygous for the pathogenic “Z” mutation in alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (AATD) are known to be at increased risk for chronic liver disease. That some degree of risk is similarly conferred by the heterozygous state, estimated to affect 2% of the US population, has also become clear. A lack of model systems that recapitulate heterozygosity in human hepatocytes has limited the ability to study the im...
