Overview

Alpha 1-antitrypsin deficiency (A1AD) is a relatively new disease. It was discovered in 1963 by Carl-Bertil Laurell (1919–2001) and Eriksson at the University of Lund, Sweden.

Historical Perspective

  • In 1963, Carl-Bertil Laurell (1919–2001) and Eriksson at the University of Lund, Sweden was the first to discover A1AD at the General Hospital in Malmö, Sweden.[1][2]
  • Laurell, along with a medical resident, Sten Eriksson, made the discovery after observing the absence of the α1 band on protein electrophoresis in five of 1500 samples; three of the five patient samples were found to have developed emphysema at a young age.
  • In 1969, Sharp et al was the first to discover the association between liver disease and development of A1AD.
