Hi, I'm a 30 year old (soon to be 31) y o woman, and I have just been diagnosed with A1Antitrypsin Deficiency, so I'm learning all about it

I am getting over the shock of it all, but also helping my family to learn about it and how it will affect me and what help is available.

Welcome emmy

There are some here with alpha1, I can only point you in the direction of information which you may in fact already be aware of. Some of the links below may be of help to you:

You may understand that it will be important for your offspring and siblings to be tested also.

Best wishes to you BC

Thankyou for your quick reply. I have no children yet, and my partner is going to see his Dr about being tested also. My Dr is also arranging for me to go and see a genetic counsellor to.
