Abstract
Antitrypsin phenotypes were determined from 2,285 donors at the Barnes Hospital Blood Bank in St. Louis. Results resembled those obtained from Central Europeans: there were fewer proteinase inhibitor (Pi) Z alleles in St. Louis than in Scandinavian test groups. Interestingly, major antitrypsin variants occurred only 40% as frequently in black as in the balance of the study group.
