AlphaID is offering free at-home saliva test kits that screen for alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (AATD), a genetic condition affecting the lungs and liver.
AATD is caused by inherited variants in the SERPINA1 gene leading to low levels of the AAT protein. This puts individuals at greater risk for lung disease like COPD or liver disease.
The AlphaID test detects 14 SERPINA1 variants linked to 95% of AATD cases. It determines your genetic risk for developing lung and liver disease compared to the general population.
The test is FDA-cleared, simple to use, and your results are confidential. To get your free kit:

Understanding your genetic risks is the first step in getting proper screening and treatment if needed. Take advantage of this free opportunity to test for AATD from the comfort of home.
