It's not such a simple answer I'm afraid.
If you are asking how many people have 2 deficient genes for the production of Alpha-1 Antitrypsin in the liver (and other parts of the body) then the answer is between 1 in 2000 live Caucasian births to one in ever 10 or 20,000.
Right now in the USA and Canada there are roughly 10,000 identified alphas and estimates of another 90,000 undiagnosed or misdiagnosed.
It is the number one autosomal recessive genetic condition humans face.
As with many such conditions, having the deficiency is not a disease in and of itself. Being deficient simply means that you any or all of the skin, liver and/or lung diseases that can occur because of the deficiency.

How many people have alpha 1 antitrypsin deficiency?
It is thought that every 1:2000 Caucasian births results in someone who is genetically 'alpha-1 antitrypsin deficient'. This puts the potential deficient population in the US at about 100,000 even though only a fraction of that number has been identified. For more information go to the related link below.

What is the Effect of mineral and vitamin deficiency on enzyme activity?
many vitamins and minerals play crucial roles in many metabolisms as coenzyme or cofactor. Deficiency of those lower the related-enzyme activity.
Which of the following is caused by mineral deficiency A) beriberi B)goitre C)scurvy D)night blindness?
Beriberi is caused by thiamine (vitamin B1) deficiency Goitre can be caused by iodine deficiency - although there are other potential causes. Scurvy is caused by vitamin C deficiency Night blindness (Nyctalopia) can have many different causes - but one cause is vitamin A deficiency.
Why is it important to use iodized salt in food?
The ingestion of iodide prevents iodine deficiency. Worldwide, iodine deficiency affects about two billion people and is the leading preventable cause of mental retardation.[1] It also causes thyroidgland problems, including endemic goiter. In many countries, iodine deficiency is a major public health problem that can be cheaply addressed by iodisation of salt.

You would have to negotiate that with the creditor. Many are willing to accept settlement agreements to have the deficiency paid off.
