The molecular basis of 
1-antitrypsin deficiency is reviewed and is shown to be due to the accumulation of mutant protein as ordered polymers within the endoplasmic reticulum of hepatocytes. The current goals are to determine the cellular response to polymeric 1-antitrypsin and to develop therapeutic strategies to block polymerisation in vivo.
Keywords: 1-antitrypsin deficiency; molecular pathophysiology
