Alpha-1-antitrypsin Pi phenotyping was performed by thin-layer isoelectric focusing on samples from 1653 healthy white blood donors. The variants were confirmed by the acid-starch gel technique and crossed immunoelectrophoresis, with complete agreement between the two methods. The allele frequencies
The role of genetic factors in the etiology of vitiligo has been discussed by some workers [5,8], and the familial incidence of vitiligo transmitted by an autosomally dominant gene of variable penetrance has already been established [8]. About 40% of patients report a positive family history of the
A second case of Pi null alpha-1-antitrypsin (AA) deficiency is described. In fact, the serum's subject contains 5 mug of AA per millilitre. With radiolabelled specific antibodies, it is possible to describe the Pi phenotype associated to this deficiency. The pattern which is obtained is like the or
