The vast majority of individuals with Alpha-1 remain undiagnosed. In order to be classified as having Alpha-1, an individual must inherit at least one abnormal AAT gene. Individuals who have one abnormal AAT gene and one normal AAT gene are sometimes referred to as heterozygotes or "carriers." This distinction is important and requires that individuals learn their own AAT genetics.

Inadequate oxygen levels can lead to an increase in the number of circulating red blood cells in the body. It is the red blood cells, specifically hemoglobin, that transport oxygen throughout the body. This proliferation (large numbers of the red blood cells, known as polycythemia), is the body's way of attempting to deliver more oxygen to the tissues and cells. In some individuals, the increased volume of circulating red blood cells can cause blood clots, headaches, and elevated blood pressure.

Music therapy can be more than just calming, it may also help support breath control, relaxation, and breathing awareness for people living with Alpha-1.

For some, tools like harmonicas can be used as part of breathing-focused music therapy because they encourage controlled inhale and exhale patterns.
