Prevalence of Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Dysfunction in Pulmonary Emphysema

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Pulmonary Emphysema

• 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

Name	Time	Method
Number of patient with alpha-1 antitrypsin dysfunction	Samples 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

Name	Time	Method
Molecular genotyping of gene coding alpha-1 antitrypsin	Samples 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 phenotype	Samples 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.
