Alpha1-antitrypsin bodies, PiZ phenotype, and peptic ulcer

Alpha1-antitrypsin bodies, PiZ phenotype, and peptic ulcer

W K Blenkinsopp. Gut. 1978 Feb.

Abstract

An association between chronic peptic ulcer and heterozygous alpha-antitrypsin deficiency has been reported: this study found no evidence of such an association. The prevalence of alpha1-antityrpsin bodies in the liver was compared with the known prevalence of PiZ phenotype in the population: there was no significant difference.
