Genetic insights into lung function inform better management of respiratory diseases

Na Qin et al. Cell Rep Med. .

Abstract

Shrine et al.1 conducted the largest multi-ancestry genome-wide meta-analysis of lung function and identified 1,020 signals associated with lung function. These provide novel insights into the genetic underpins of lung function and may inform better clinical management of respiratory disorders.
