Population genetic testing and SERPINA1 sequencing identifies unidentified alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency alleles and gene-environment interaction with hepatitis C infection

Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (AATD), a relatively common autosomal recessive genetic disorder, is underdiagnosed in symptomatic individuals. We sought to compare the risk of liver transplantation associated with hepatitis C infection with AATD heterozygotes and homozygotes and determine if SERPINA...
