Abstract excerpt
Alpha 1-antitrypsin (AAT) deficiency is a serious predisposing factor for the development of pulmonary emphysema. Twelve representative Danish families were studied. AAT typing was performed as a comparative study between the traditional protein typing by isoelectrical focusing and the deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) technique of enzymatic amplification and subsequent typing with radioactively labelled...
