Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency (A1AD) is a genetic disease that can affect the liver (cirrhosis), lungs (emphysema), and skin (panniculitis). Our mission is to provide peer-to-peer support and information to people having emphysema and other health disorders related to Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency.
