Article Synopsis
- The SERPINA1 gene produces Alpha-1 Antitrypsin (AAT1), which plays a role in balancing proteases and antiproteases; imbalances may contribute to severe health issues, including those related to COVID-19.
- This study aimed to analyze the relationship between AAT1 levels and the severity of COVID-19 symptoms in 181 hospitalized patients.
- Results showed that higher AAT1 levels correlated with increased severity, longer hospitalization, inflammatory markers, and worse outcomes, suggesting AAT1 could serve as a useful prognostic biomarker in COVID-19 cases.
