Hi Rob,
Thanks for the link. It would be good to know your results. Are you being tested as a family member has it ?
glad u found the link helpful, should know the result on tuesday eeek! i was test for it becuase all of my grandads brothers and sisters have COPD and he died of it. but even if i have the deficiency my consutant does not think that my type 2 brittle asthma is link to it. i'll post u when i get the result
take care

I was tested for this last year as there is a family history of different lung problems but no-one had been tested for it or diagnosed with it. I was told I didn't have it as the results came back just outside the range.
There is a lot of information available about it now as well as a UK site similar to this one with a forum
