The aim of this study was to check the characteristics of a commercially available amplification-reverse hybridization assay kit in detecting at a molecular level the alpha-1-antitrypsin (AAT) Z and S variants, i.e. the most frequent variants associated with AATD, by comparing its performance with DNA restriction fragment length polymorphism.

Therefore, the optimal strategy for diagnostics of AAT deficiency should encompass detection of the most common AAT variants by IEF and screening for the less common variants by DGGE in combination with sequencing.

In individuals with AAT deficiency (AATD), AAT is retained in liver cells, which predisposes them to liver disease, and does not reach lung tissues through circulation, where it normally acts as the primary natural regulator of proteolytic activity in the pulmonary tissues, which thus leads to lung disease.
