Alpha-1-antitrypsin (AAT) deficiency is a rare genetic disorder characterized by hepatitis in neonates, childhood and adulthood (protease inhibitor (PI)\*ZZ) and emphysema with or without hepatitis (PI\*ZZ)/(PI\*SS,SZ or null) in adulthood. We report the case of a female neonate born at 40Β weeks of
A single base substitution is responsible for the PI-Z mutation in alpha-l-antitrypsin (AAT) deficiency. The Z mutation, which is in exon V of the AAT gene, was analysed directly using a primer designed with a single base substitution in the DNA sequence. During the polymerase chain reaction with th
