Thank you jake7007 that was really help full.

The Alpha-1 Coded Testing (ACT) Study is a free and confidential research study based at the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) in Charleston. The study includes a research questionnaire and a finger-stick testing kit mailed to the individual's home. ACT provides a way for those at risk for alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (Alpha-1), including family members of already-diagnosed Alphas, to learn their Alpha-1 genotype. The genotype is the pair of genes an individual inherits from each parent. Knowing your genotype is significant in determining your risk for the deficiency and the risk of your children.
