Prevalence of Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Dysfunction in Pulmonary Emphysema

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Pulmonary Emphysema
Interventions
Other: Blood sampling
Registration Number
NCT02382367
Lead Sponsor
Hospices Civils de Lyon
Brief Summary

The main objective of this trial is to evaluate the prevalence of alpha-1 antitrypsin quantitative and functional deficiency in an adult French population presenting with pulmonary emphysema. Phenotypic and genotypic studies will be carried whenever quantitative and/or functional deficiency will be displayed.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Number of patient with alpha-1 antitrypsin dysfunctionSamples for evaluation of alpha-1 antitrypsin dysfunction will be performed the day of the patient enrollment

Alpha-1 antitrypsin protein will be measured either on serum or plasma by standardized immunoassay. The elastase-inhibitory capacity of plasma will be evaluated by a functional test. The anti-elastase dysfunction of alpha-1 antitrypsin will be evaluated using both measurements.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Molecular genotyping of gene coding alpha-1 antitrypsinSamples for molecular genotyping will be performed the day of the patient enrollment

For those patients who presented with either a functional or a quantitative dysfunction, we will look for genetic mutations in the gene coding the alpha-1 antitrypsin allowing the identification of specific genotype such as MM, MZ, MS, SS and SZ

Determination of alpha-1 antitrypsin protein phenotypeSamples for phenotype analysis will be performed the day of the patient enrollment

The determination of the alpha-1 antitrypsin protein phenotype may highlight genotype variants. The different known phenotypes are: Pi MM, Pi Z; Pi S, Pi SS, Pi SZ, Pi ZZ.
