Notes

rs7151526 is an SNP in the 5'UTR of the SERPINA1 (alpha-1-antritrypsin/AAT) gene, with potential effects on AAT activity. A recent study showed a strong association of the rs7151526(A) allele with anca-associated vasculitides

A;A

Homozygous Variant of SNP upstream of SERPINA1 which may cause alpha-1-antitrypsin reduction / deficiency, also associated with granulomatosis with polyangiitis, an ANCA-associated vasculitis which can damage the kidneys and lungs. NC_000014.8:g.94863636C>A NC_000014.9:g.94397299C>A
