Abstract excerpt
Genetic polymorphism of the systems of haptoglobin, transferrin, alpha 1-antitrypsin and complement C3 was investigated in patients with asbestosis and in healthy individuals who contacted with asbestos for a long time. The significant differences were discovered between the groups under comparison in the distribution of the phenotypic and genic frequencies in these loci. Simultaneous studies of the levels of...
