Scientists probe genetic link to more infections in Alpha-1 patients
NCT ID NCT07135427
Summary
This study aims to understand if people with a specific genetic form of Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency (AATD) also have variations in nearby genes that weaken their immune system and lead to more lung infections. Researchers will compare the immune response to a pneumonia vaccine in 30 adults with AATD who either have frequent lung flare-ups or none. The goal is to gather knowledge about the genetic causes of immune problems in AATD, not to test a new treatment.
