Researchers hunt for hidden genetic cause of breathing problems

NCT ID NCT07152834

Summary

This study aims to find out if a genetic condition called Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency (AATD) is more common in people who experience shortness of breath and have signs of airway obstruction on a breathing test. Researchers will recruit 734 patients from a clinic, test their blood for AATD, and compare results between those with and without airway obstruction. The goal is to improve detection of this underdiagnosed condition, which could lead to better management for those who have it.
