Abstract excerpt
Granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (CSF), also known as CSF2, and granulocyte CSF, also known as CSF3, are important survival and proliferation factors for neutrophils and macrophages. The objective of the present study was to determine whether single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of CSF2 and CSF3 are associated with lung function in smoking-induced chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. In total,...
