Abstract excerpt
Deficiency of alpha 1-antitrypsin can be diagnosed by DNA methods that are quick and also give reproducible results. Direct DNA analysis of the M, S, and Z alleles of the alpha 1-antitrypsin gene is possible when two molecular biology techniques are combined: a part of the gene is enzymatically replicated according to the pattern of the human DNA that is to be investigated. On hybridization with the various...
