چکیده
MATERIAL AND METHODS: At the Institute of Immunobiology and Human Genetics, part of the Faculty of Medicine in Skopje, in the previous 7 years, total of 361 patients with suspected alpha-1-antitrypsin (AAT) deficiency were referred for analysis of AAT concentration using nephelometry (Dade Behring) and subsequent AAT genotyping of individuals with alpha-1antytripsin deficiency at protein level, based on reverse hybridization technique.

There is no exact statistics about the prevalence of this disease in different regions of Iran. The present study aimed to determine the prevalence of alpha-1 antitrypsin (A1AT) deficiency in COPD patients in Kerman, Iran. Metho...
متن کاملGenotyping diagnosis of alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency in Saudi adults with liver cirrhosis
The acute phase protein alpha-1 antitrypsin (AAT) is mainly produced in liver cells. AAT deficiency affects the lungs and liver. We conducted a case-control study to define a valuable method for the proper diagnosis of alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (AATD), as well as the association of liver cirrhosis with AATD in Saudi adults.Blood samples from 300 liver cirrhosis patients and 400 controls we...

We welcome the cross-sectional, observational, case-finding study on alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (AATD) in 1002 individuals with COPD conducted by Sorroche et al. in Buenos Aires. This is the first study of its kind in Argentina.1 The authors set out to identify all genotypes associated with severe AATD (namely, Pi*ZZ and Pi*SZ) using an effective screening technique based on the quantificat...
