Abstract excerpt
The prevalence of the Taq I(-) allele in variants of alpha 1-proteinase inhibitor (alpha 1PI) was investigated in a group of 28 black asthmatic patients and 32 black control individuals, and was compared to 43 white asthmatic patients and 32 white control individuals. The plasma concentration of alpha 1PI was determined in eight black and 14 white asthmatics without the Taq I(-) allele, and compared to seven...
