Summary. Genetic variation of the protease inhibitor (Pi) a,-antitrypsin was
analyzed by isoelectric focusing on polyacrylamide gels in a sample of 347
unrelated individuals from Southern Germany. Six common subtypes of PiM
were observed as well as the relatively frequent variants PiS and PiZ and the
rare variants PiT, Pi< L, PiL, PiI and PiF. Also, a variant called PiZ1 was
found. The frequency of alleles in this sample was Pi = 0.6917, PiM2= 0.1686,
PiM3 =0.0865, Pis=0.0230, PiZ=0.0187, and Pi*=0.0115. In 82 families the
distribution of Pi types was in agreement with an autosomal codominant mode
of inheritance. The application of Pi classification in cases of disputed paternity
is discussed.

Zusammenfassung. Die genetischen Variationen des Protease-Inhibitors (Pi) ai-
Antitrypsin wurden mit Hilfe der Isoelektrofokussierung in einer Stichprobe
von 347 nicht verwandten Personen aus Stiddeutschland untersucht. Es wurden
sechs haufige PiM-Untergruppen und die relativ haufigen Varianten PiS und
PiZ differenziert; zudem fanden sich die seltenen Varianten PiT, Pi<L, Pi L,
Pi I, Pi F sowie eine als Pi Z1 bezeichnete Variante. In dieser Stichprobe wurden
folgende Allelfrequenzen berechnet: PiM' =0,6917, PiM2 =0,1686, PiM3=0,0865,
Pis=0,0230, Piz=0,0187 und Pi*=0,0115. In 82 Familien fand sich keine
Abweichung vom angenommenen autosomal kodominanten Vererbungsmo-
dus. Die Verwendbarkeit des Pi-Systems fur die Paternitatsbegutachtung wird
diskutiert.
