Whole exome sequencing identifies novel candidate genes that modify chronic obstructive pulmonary disease susceptibility
BACKGROUND: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is characterized by an irreversible airflow limitation in response to inhalation of noxious stimuli, such as cigarette smoke. However, only 15–20 % smokers manifest COPD, suggesting a role for genetic predisposition. Although genome-wide assoc...
