Abstract

96 unrelated patients suffering from ulcerative colitis were typed for the electrophoretic variants of alpha₁-antitrypsin (α_1-AT). None of the phenotypes showed a definite association with this condition. The serum concentration of α₁-AT was increased compared with healthy control subjects. There was a positive correlation between the serum concentration of α₁-AT and activity of the ulcerative colitis.
