Alpha 1 antitrypsin MS meaning?

Hello, my liver dr ordered this test due to having slightly low oxygen saturation when I saw him. My chart doesn’t say much except my value is MS and I have no idea what that means. A google search suggests MS is not at and increased risk for liver disease but then another category said I’m SS meaning I have a slight increased risk of being like MZ that does have liver disease issues? I’m so confused, can anyone help explain this since I don’t see my dr until next week?
