Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Quadriceps weakness is an important complication of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and is associated with impaired exercise capacity and greater mortality. Its etiology is multifactorial, and evidence is growing that it is partly determined by genetic susceptibility. OBJECTIVE: Using an established cohort, we tested whether quadriceps weakness in patients with COPD is influenced by...
