AlphaID™ At Home makes it easy to discover your risk for genetic COPD.

The AlphaID™ At Home Saliva Collection Kit has the supplies you need to find out your risk for genetic COPD, a condition called alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency, or AATD (also referred to as alpha-1). Simply collect a small saliva sample by swabbing the inside of your cheek from the comfort of your home.

The AlphaID™ At Home Genetic Health Risk Service is an FDA-cleared service that detects 14 variants in the SERPINA1 gene linked to AATD with at least 99% accuracy. The Service also determines your risk for developing lung disease linked to AATD, compared with the general population. If you are diagnosed with AATD, treatment options may exist.*

If you have COPD, you should know your risk for AATD.

Having low levels of alpha-1 antitrypsin can leave your lungs vulnerable to serious damage. According to the COPD Foundation, the World Health Organization (WHO), the American Thoracic Society, and the GOLD COPD guidelines, if you've been diagnosed with COPD, you should find out if you are at risk of AATD.1-4 If your healthcare professional then confirms a diagnosis of AATD, talk to them about potential treatment options.

If you learn you’re at risk, there’s more you can do.

Only a healthcare professional can diagnose AATD, so regardless of your risk, be sure to share your AlphaID At Home Genetic Health Risk Service Report with them. After reviewing your report, your healthcare professional may want to perform tests, like the AlphaID™ CONFIRM,‡ or another test your healthcare professional chooses, to reach an AATD diagnosis.
