Andalusian Alpha 1 Centre
- Granada Centre of Excellence
At Andalusian Alpha 1 Centre we are committed to research and training in Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency
What is Alpha 1 Antitrypsin Deficiency?
As this is a disease with a high underdiagnosis, our main objective is to spread knowledge of this disease from an elementary point of view (etiopathogenesis and epidemiology), as well as its treatment.
Its status as a rare respiratory disease makes it necessary to concentrate the cases detected in Centres of Excellence, to generate greater knowledge about the disease and develop new lines of research.
It is estimated that in Spain there may be around 14,500 individuals with severe homozygous Pi*ZZ deficiency.
IT IS ONE OF THE MOST COMMON AND WELL-KNOW GENETIC CAUSES
OUR MISSION
"In search of the cure"
Andalusian Alpha 1 Centre is the pioneering institution for patient care, in the Pulmonology Clinical Management Unit of the San Cecilio University Clinical Hospital in Granada.
