Abstract excerpt
Alpha1-antitrypsin (AAT) deficiency is an inherited disorder that can cause lung disease in adults and liver disease in adults and children. The S and Z mutations are the two most common mutations found in the AAT-deficient patients. We have developed a simple multiplexed allele-specific-PCR to detect both the S and Z mutations and the corresponding wild-type alleles. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) product could...
