Lung function and airway diseases

Scott T Weiss. Nat Genet. 2010 Jan.

Abstract

Two studies report genome-wide association studies for lung function, using cross-sectional spirometric measurements in healthy individuals. They identify six genetic loci newly associated to natural variation in lung function, which may have implications for the related airway diseases of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
