The condition may lead to emphysema and liver disease Causes, incidence, and risk factors Return to top Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency results from a genetic defect. The mechanism that causes associated liver disease and emphysema in some people with this deficiency is not known. However some evidence suggests that it may be related to inflammation. Approximately 75% of adults with severe deficiency will develop emphysema, which often begins before 40 years of age. Smoking can increase risk. Symptoms Return to top Additional symptoms that may be associated with emphysema or cirrhosis include the following: Abnormal breathing pattern (exhalation takes more than twice as long as inspiration) Agitation Ankle, feet, and leg swelling

   Extractions: What is Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency? Alpha-1 Antitrypsin deficiency is an inherited disorder that may cause lung or liver disease. Normally, the protein alpha-1 antitrysin, is released into the bloodstream and travels to the lung where it protects the lungs from the destructive actions of common illnesses and exposures, particularly tobacco smoke. People with a deficiency of this protective protein often suffer from progressive lung damage known as emphysema. Unlike the common form of emphysema seen in otherwise healthy individuals who have smoked for many years, this alpha antitrypsin deficiency form of emphysema may occur at an unusually young age and after minimal exposure to tobacco smoke. Visit the Alpha 1 Association web site. They are a non-profit, membership organization, dedicated to improving the lives of individuals and their families affected by alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency. Alpha1 Canadian Registry This is the Canadian site for the International Alpha1 Registry. The International Registry has been set up with approximately 3500 participants. There are several goals of this registry. Initially, the registry will gather existing medical information about people who are deficient in the protein to understand better why some people remain healthy and free of lung disease and why some people develop emphysema. In the longer term, people who are participants in the registry may be asked if they are willing to participate in research trials that might improve our diagnoses, assessment or management of the disease. By coordinating research efforts at this international level, the registry scientists hope to make more rapid progress than individual scientists could achieve working in isolation.

This condition may result in serious lung and/or liver disease at various ages in life. There may be up to 100,000 people with Alpha-1 (ZZ) in the United States. The most common signs and symptoms of Alpha-1 are Alpha-1 has been identified in virtually all populations . It is estimated that as many as 1 in every 2,500 Americans have Alpha-1. An estimated 20 million people have one normal and one defective alpha-1 gene. People with one normal gene and one defective gene (for example MZ) are called “carriers”. Carriers may pass the defective gene on to their children.

Search Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency On this page: Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency is an inherited disorder that can cause lung disease in adults and liver disease in adults and children. The first signs of lung disease caused by alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency usually appear between ages 20 and 40. The earliest symptoms are shortness of breath following mild activity, reduced ability to exercise, and wheezing. Other symptoms can include unintentional weight loss, recurring respiratory infections, fatigue, a barrel-shaped chest, rapid heartbeat upon standing, and vision abnormalities. Smoking or exposure to tobacco smoke accelerates the appearance of symptoms and damage to the lungs. About 10 percent of infants and 15 percent of adults also have liver damage caused by alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency. Symptoms of liver disease can include a swollen abdomen, coughing up blood, swollen feet or legs, and yellowing of the skin and whites of the eyes (jaundice).
