Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency occurs worldwide, but its prevalence varies by population. For example, in Scandinavia this disorder affects 1 in 1,500 to 3,000 individuals, but it is less common in Asian and black populations. In North America, alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency affects 1 in 5,000 to 7,000 people. So you see, its not too common but scary enough. /S
