Summary

Homozygous (PiZZ phenotype1) α1-antitrypsin (α1-AT) deficiency is a relatively common autosomal codominant genetic disorder, affecting 1 in 1,600–3,000 live births in most populations of Northern European ancestry [1, 2]. Although α1-AT deficiency liver disease develops in only a subset of PiZZ individuals, this condition represents the most common metabolic cause of liver disease and liver transplantation in children [3]. It can also cause chronic liver disease, hepatocellular carcinoma, and premature pulmonary emphysema in adults [3, 4].
