Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Alpha-1-antitrypsin (AAT) deficiency is a relatively common genetic disorder that can lead to the development of pulmonary disorders. Diagnosis of AAT deficiency is typically performed by isoelectric focusing (IEF) protein phenotyping in concert with determination of AAT serum concentration levels. The "P" phenotypic variant is associated with several known genetic variants that are found at unknown...
