    Alpha-1 Antitrypsin deficiency

    They tested me mostly because they were testing me for everything under the sun. My enzyme level was just inside the normal range but since I had an infection, they ordered the genotype test. You can get tested for free through: <a target=_blank class=ftalternatingbarlinklarge...

    So... I recently tested positive as a carrier for Alpha-1 Antitrypsin deficiency. This is an enzyme that repairs damage in your liver and your lungs. Homomzygous people tend to get emphysema or cirrhosis in their 40s without ever smoking. If they smoke, then much earlier. My gene combo means...
