The expansion of clones with distinct SERPINA1 somatic mutants in the livers of alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (A1AT) patients is consistent with convergent evolution. These variants interfere with the auto-polymerization and intra-ER accumulation of the Z-A1AT protein, thus highlighting potentially targetable domains.
