Because there are many more people with one Z gene in the population, there may be as many individuals with liver disease associated with one Z gene as there are with two Z gene variants.

While there are currently no specific treatments for Alpha-1 liver disease, there are many liver-focused therapies in the research pipeline that may be able to limit the amount of alpha-1 protein trapped in the liver. Since liver damage does not appear to be related to a lack of AAT in the blood, augmentation therapy is not used in the treatment of liver disease. Instead, management focuses on preventing the general complications of chronic liver disease and on the rapid and effective treatment of problems that cannot be avoided.
