Prevalence of α-1-antitrypsin gene mutations in Saudi Arabia.

Saudi journal of gastroenterology : official journal of the Saudi Gastroenterology Association - 1 Jan 2000

Aljarallah Badr, Ali Ahmed, Dowaidar Moataz, Settin Ahmad

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND/AIM: α-1 antitrypsin (AAT) deficiency results from mutations of the protease inhibitor (PI). The AAT gene is mapped on chromosome 14 and has been associated with chronic liver disease and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). OBJECTIVE: To determine the frequency of AAT mutations on S and Z carrier alleles in healthy Saudi individuals from Qassim Province in Saudi Arabia. PATIENTS AND METHODS:...
