First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 29 times

Summary

This study looks at whether a genetic condition called Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency (AATD) is more common in people who have shortness of breath and signs of airway blockage on breathing tests. Researchers will measure AAT levels and check for related gene mutations in 734 adults visiting a clinic for breathlessness. The goal is to improve detection of AATD, which could lead to better diagnosis and treatment.
