Abstract excerpt
Alpha-1-proteinase inhibitor phenotypes and levels were examined in 40 antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody positive cases of systemic vasculitis. An excess of PiZ and PiS alleles were associated with the development of pulmonary haemorrhage and alpha-1-proteinase inhibitor levels were lower in th...
