Alpha 1-antitrypsin gene polymorphism related to respiratory system disease. 1987

M Buraczynska, and D Schött, and A J Hanzlik, and B Höltmann, and W T Ulmer

Restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) in the alpha 1-antitrypsin gene region was studied in relation to chronic obstructive airway disease (COAD) and pneumoconiosis. Genomic DNA of 122 studied subjects was digested with Hind III restriction endonuclease and hybridized with the alpha 1-antitrypsin gene probe. In eight patients with COAD an unusual 10-kb restriction fragment was found hybridizing with the probe. Three of 70 patients were homozygotes for this variant allele and 5 were heterozygotes, showing the presence of two fragments, 2.7 kb and 10 kb. The presence of 10-kb restriction fragment seems to be related to the early development of COAD in studied subjects and therefore might be used as a genetic marker of the disease.

D011009 Pneumoconiosis A diffuse parenchymal lung disease caused by inhalation of dust and by tissue reaction to their presence. These inorganic, organic, particulate, or vaporized matters usually are inhaled by workers in their occupational environment, leading to the various forms (ASBESTOSIS; BYSSINOSIS; and others). Similar air pollution can also have deleterious effects on the general population. Bagassosis,Pneumoconioses
D011110 Polymorphism, Genetic The regular and simultaneous occurrence in a single interbreeding population of two or more discontinuous genotypes. The concept includes differences in genotypes ranging in size from a single nucleotide site (POLYMORPHISM, SINGLE NUCLEOTIDE) to large nucleotide sequences visible at a chromosomal level.

D012150 Polymorphism, Restriction Fragment Length Variation occurring within a species in the presence or length of DNA fragment generated by a specific endonuclease at a specific site in the genome. Such variations are generated by mutations that create or abolish recognition sites for these enzymes or change the length of the fragment.
