Alpha-1 Coded Testing Study (ACT Trial)
Alpha-1 Coded Testing Study (ACT Trial)

The Alpha-1 Coded Testing (ACT) Study was established to study genetic testing and outcomes of individuals at risk for alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency.

Genetic testing for alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency is sometimes delayed despite established testing indications. All genetic tests have risks and possible benefits. The ACT study evaluates the population demographics, reasons for testing, and outcomes through a confidential testing program. Concerns about genetic confidentiality are lessened in this study by a coded testing procedure that returns results through the mail to study participants. Outcomes of testing are recorded.
