    Snippet: Alpha1-antitrypsin deficiency arises due to mutations in alpha1-antitrypsin (AAT) gene and represents the most prominent genetic predisposition to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and emphysema. Since AAT plays important immunomodulatory and tissue-protective roles and since it was suggested to protect from severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection, we assessed this association in United Kingdom Biobank, a community-based cohort with >500,000 participants.

    Document: Alpha1-antitrypsin deficiency arises due to mutations in alpha1-antitrypsin (AAT) gene and represents the most prominent genetic predisposition to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and emphysema. Since AAT plays important immunomodulatory and tissue-protective roles and since it was suggested to protect from severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection, we assessed this association in United Kingdom Biobank, a community-based cohort with >500,000 participants. The most common, mild AATD genotypes were associated neither with increased SARS-CoV-2 infection rates nor with increased SARS-CoV-2 fatalities, while the numbers of severe AATD cases were too low to allow definitive conclusions.
