Sleep apnea among individuals with Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency-associated lung disease
Among individuals with AATD-associated lung disease, OSA is highly prevalent. Differential OSA prevalence by genotype in the AATD population may be driven by health behaviors such as smoking and weight management. Direct comparison to populations without AATD is needed to define if AATD directly contributes to OSA risk.
