This Monograph offers a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of AATD. It covers basic biology, genetics, laboratory diagnostics and the major organ manifestations; describes the clinical presentation of AATD in both adults and children; and features chapters on genetic counselling, patient views and future therapies. The content has been tailored to meet the needs of the physician, who takes care of lung and liver patients in daily practice, and the general practitioner, who is responsible for the medical guidance of these patients.
