TL;DR: By sampling from the extremes of the lung function distribution in UK Biobank, novel genetic causes of lung function and smoking behaviour are identified and substantial shared genetic architecture underlying airflow obstruction is shown across individuals, irrespective of smoking behaviour and other airway disease.
