Abstract excerpt
We describe a simple DNA-based method to assign the two common alpha 1-proteinase inhibitor (alpha 1-antitrypsin) deficiency alleles in the Pi-system (Pi*Z and Pi*S). Two sets of mutated primers are used in the polymerase chain reaction (PCR), followed by a restriction enzyme digest of the products. The mutated forward primers create a Taq I site only if the wildtype alleles (mostly M or subtypes) are present and...
