Alpha-1 antitrypsin (AAT; HUGO symbol, SERPINA1) is one of the major serine protease inhibitors (serpins) in human plasma. Deficiency of AAT is a recognised risk factor for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), attributed to uninhibited neutrophil elastase released into the lung tissue durin

A proband homozygous for the PiZ allele of the alpha-1-antitrypsin gene was found to be a heterozygous carrier of the additional nucleotide substitution (C-T) within the intron IV-exon V junction (position 9955 in intron IV, 3 bp upstream of its 3'-splice site). This mutation was not found in DNA fr

Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is an autosomal dominant disorder with an incidence of between 1: 3000 and 1: 4000. Common clinical signs include more than six café-au-lait spots, multiple cutaneous neurofibromas and iris Lisch nodules. Rarer are skeletal anomalies, learning disabilities and an incre

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
