Is Alpha 1-antitrypsin deficiency hereditary?
Here you can see if Alpha 1-antitrypsin deficiency can be hereditary. Do you have any genetic components? Does any member of your family have Alpha 1-antitrypsin deficiency or may be more predisposed to developing the condition?
Yes it is hereditary. You get one allele from each parent. I received two deficient alleles from my parents.

Yes. Both parents have to be carriers.
