Alpha-1-antitrypsin levels and prevalence of Pi variant phenotypes in adult Nigerian asthmatics.

African journal of medicine and medical sciences - 1 Dec 1990

Awotedu A A, Adelaja A B

Abstract excerpt

Alpha-1-antitrypsin (A1AT) phenotypes and serum levels were determined in 99 asthmatic patients and 100 control subjects. The phenotypes encountered were PiMM 74% in asthmatics, 98% in controls; PiMZ 19% in asthmatics, 1% in controls; PiMW 3% in asthmatics, 0% in controls; and PiLM 2% in asthmati...
