Alpha 1 Antitrypsin Deficiency
Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (a1ad or aatd) is a genetic disorder that may result in lung disease or liver disease. Onset of lung problems is typically between 20 and 50 years old. This may result in shortness of breath, wheezing, or an increased risk of lung infections.
SYMPTOMS
Signs and symptoms of emphysema include problems breathing, wheezing, and a chronic (ongoing) cough. At first, many people who have aat deficiency are diagnosed with asthma. This is because wheezing also is a symptom of asthma.
CAUSES
A1ad is due to a mutation in the serpina1 gene that results in not enough alpha-1 antitrypsin (a1at).
