Abstract excerpt
If laboratory diagnosis of alpha1-antitrypsin (alpha1-AT) deficiency is usually based on its phenotype identification by isoelectric focusing, alpha1-antiprotease inhibitor (Pi)S and PiZ genotypes can also be determined by deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)-based methods. Recently, several methods have been described for preparing genomic DNA from serum. The aim of the current study was to determine the Pi allele from...
