title: [Alpha-1-antitrypsin and cystic fibrosis (author's transl)].
abstract: A methodical study of the alpha-1-antitrypsin serum level and the Pi type in 69 CF children, 156 CF heterozygote parents and 200 blood donors from Paris, has been made. Although the PiZ allele frequency was found to be higher in the CF population, especially in fathers, than in the reference population, the difference is not statistically relevant. Therefore there does not seem to be a relation between cystic fibrosis and the Pi alleles system.
