摘要
Background: Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency is a genetic disease which affects both lung and liver. This disease is a recognized factor for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However its importance as the cause of COPD in a country such as Iran is unclear. Objectives: This study was conducted to find out the role of alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency as a cause of COPD in Iranian patients. Materials and Methods: The serum concentration of alpha-1 antitrypsin was determined and the genotype of alpha-1 antitrypsin was also evaluated by PCR-RFLP in 130 patients with COPD and 50 normal healthy blood donors. Results: No alpha-1 antitrypsin deficient case was found in normal healthy people and COPD patients. Conclusions: Our results clarify that deficiency of alpha-antitrypsin is not a major cause of COPD in Iranian patients.
