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.

TL;DR: The Oxford-GlaxoSmithKline study (Ox-GSK) as discussed by the authors performed a genome-wide meta-analysis of SNP association with smoking-related behavioral traits and found an effect on smoking quantity at a locus on 15q25 (P = 9.45 x 10(-19) that includes CHRNA5, CHRNA3 and CHRNB4.

TL;DR: This study provides strong evidence that multiple statistically distinct loci in this region affect smoking behavior, and is the first report of association between rs588765 (and correlates) and smoking that achieves genome-wide significance.
