Type : Phenotype, molecular basis known;

Description : Alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency is an autosomal recessive disorder. The most common manifestation is emphysema, which becomes evident by the third to fourth decade. A less common manifestation of the deficiency is liver disease, which occurs in children and adults, and may result in cirrhosis and liver failure.
