چکیده

Complete absence of data on alpha 1 antitrypsin in this country prompted us to determine serum levels using radial immunodiffusion (RID) and phenotypes by isoelectric focusing (IEF) in 100 healthy adults (52 males and 48 females). Mean serum alpha 1 antitrypsin concentration in healthy subjects was 2.47 +/- 0.08 g/l and the main phenotypes MM (70%), M1 M2 (28%) and FM 3 (2%) are infrequent in our population.

Genetic variants of alpha 1-antitrypsin and hemoglobin typed by isoelectric focusing in preselected narrow pH gradients with PhastSystem.

In this method for automatically running and staining isoelectric focusing (IEF) gels, pre-made dehydrated polyacrylamide gels were rehydrated before assays run with the PhastSystem (Pharmacia LKB Biotechnology). The typing of genetic variants of hemoglobin and alpha 1-antitrypsin in narrow pH gradients (pH 6.7-7.7 and 4.2-4.9, respectively) was simple, convenient, and reproducible. The clinica...

Three missense variants of metabolic syndrome-related genes are associated with alpha-1 antitrypsin levels

Alpha-1 antitrypsin (AAT) encoded by SERPINA1 is an acute-phase inflammation marker, and AAT deficiency (AATD) is known as one of the common genetic disorders in European populations. However, no genetic determinants to AAT levels apart from the SERPINA gene clusters have been identified to date. Here we perform a genome-wide association study of serum AAT levels followed by a two-staged replic...

Alpha-1 antitrypsin, retinol binding protein and keratin 10 alterations in patients with psoriasis vulgaris, a proteomic approach

Objective(s):Psoriasis is an autoimmune disease that appears on the skin. Although psoriasis is clinically and histologically well characterized, its pathogenesis is unknown in detail. The aims of this study were to evaluate the proteome of psoriatic patients' sera and to compare them with those of normal healthy human to find valuable biomarkers. Materials and Methods: In a case-control study,...
