Abstract
The identification of alpha 1 antitrypsin deficiency (ATD) in neonates was hypothesized to have negative long-term consequences on the parents' views of the children's personality characteristics. This hypothesis was tested by comparing 5-7-year-old children's personality and behavioral characteristics, as reported by parents of 61 children with ATD versus parents of 61 control children without ATD. Data were collected by both interviews in the home and temperament questionnaires. No evidence was found of the hypothesized negative effect on parental views.
