You don’t have to be a scientist to discover your risk for genetic COPD.
Only a doctor can diagnose alpha₁-antitrypsin deficiency, but with AlphaID™ At Home Genetic Health Risk Service, you can discover your risk for alpha-1 from the comfort of home. It’s 100% confidential, easy to do, and free.*
“For many COPD patients, genetics are often overlooked due to their history of exposure to harmful environmental factors like smoking. As it turns out, more than 90% of people in the US who have genetic COPD don't know they have it. With an at-home screening kit like the AlphaID™ At Home Genetic Health Risk Service, learning your risk has never been easier.”
Will your COPD story continue with your children?
Alpha-1 is a genetic condition, so you could pass alpha-1 on to your children. Everyone inherits an alpha-1 gene from each parent. Individuals who inherited 2 normal M genes do not have alpha-1, while those who inherited 2 abnormal genes are considered to have alpha-1.
If you discover you're at risk for alpha-1, your experience could also inform their health journeys.
Knowing can pave the way to new possibilities.
Meet real COPD patients who were diagnosed with alpha-1 and found a new way forward.
