Alpha-1-antitrypsin (PI) phenotypes were studied in a sample of 450 Tunisians. The observed frequencies of PI alleles were identical to those in African populations, with a very low incidence of PI\*S and virtual absence of PI\*Z. Such figures are similar to estimates in Asians and clearly opposite
## Communicated by Johannes Zschocke A method for mutation detection in the alpha-1 antitrypsin gene (protease inhibitor 1; PI) has been developed using denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis of PCR amplified gene fragments. Using this experimental approach, all common phenotypes and mutations co
The concentrations and phenotypes of serum alpha-l-antitrypsin (aIAT) were determined in 650 newborn infants. The distribution of these 650 subjects among the various Pi phenotypes confirms the higher frequency reported for the PiS allele in Latin populations. Serum a~AT levels vary between one ph
