Abstract excerpt
The homozygous state of the alpha-1-antitrypsin (alpha 1AT) deficiency variant Z is associated with severe liver damage in early childhood and progressive lung emphysema in adulthood. A single base transition (G to A in codon 342) in exon V is causing the severe disease. The Glu342 to Lys342 mutation can be detected conventionally by isoelectric focusing (IEF) or on the DNA level by the newly developed method of...
