Abstract excerpt
We have investigated the molecular basis of 15 new alpha 1-antitrypsin (alpha 1AT) variants. Phenotyping by isoelectric focusing (IEF) was used as a screening method to detect alpha 1AT variants at the protein level. Genotyping was then performed by sequence analysis of all coding exons, exon-intron junctions, and the hepatocyte-specific promoter region including exon Ic. Three of these rare variants are alleles...
