Ranges

Each lab publishes a reference range for the population groups it tests, usually the middle 95% of results. These intervals describe that population, not an optimal or healthy target. How ranges differ

    Serum · Fasting not stated · Turnaround 3 - 6 days

    Method and collection
    Method
    Phenotype: isoelectric focusing (IEF); total: immunologic
    Preparation
    Overnight fasting is preferred.
    Collection
    Separate serum from cells.
    Reference notes
    Interpretation accompanies report; phenotypes are designated. PiMM phenotype is normal; PiMZ is heterozygous, intermediate deficient; and PiZZ is homozygous, severely deficient. More than 75 alleles are described; biosynthesis of α1AT is controlled at the Pi locus by a pair of genes. There is codominant expression. The phenotype is “Pi” for protease inhibitor. Z and S are mutant proteins. A null-null state occurs as well. In the dysfunctional type, α1AT is found in normal amounts but does not function normally.

We compile this page from named laboratory catalogs, guidelines and studies. Labs calculate reference intervals from the people they test, for one assay method and one population group, so an interval describes that population rather than an optimal target.
