Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To study the role of α(1)AT and TIMP-1 gene polymorphisms in development of COPD. DESIGN AND METHODS: Blood samples from total 408 subjects (217 COPD patients and 191 controls) were used for genotyping and estimating biolevels of α(1)AT, TIMP-1 and inflammatory cytokines. Data was analyzed to determine the role of interaction of TIMP-1 and α(1)AT genes; and interplay between various genotypes and...
