Abstract excerpt
The molecular structure and the serum levels of alpha 1-antitrypsin, the major antiprotease of human serum, are controlled by a series of codominant alleles at a single chromosomal locus, known as the Pi(protease-inhibitor) locus. The congenital deficiency of this inhibitor is known to be associa...
