A Genome-Wide Association Study in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD): Identification of Two Major Susceptibility Loci

TL;DR: A genome-wide association study in a homogenous case-control cohort from Bergen, Norway and evaluated the top 100 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the family-based International COPD Genetics Network found two SNPs at the α-nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (CHRNA 3/5) locus showed unambiguous replication and were significantly associated with lung function in both the ICGN and Boston Early-Onset COPD populations.
