Abstract excerpt
Studies using genetic isolates with limited genetic variation may be useful in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) genetics, but are thus far lacking. The associations between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in candidate genes and lung function in COPD were studied in a genetic isolate. In 91 subjects with Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) stage >or=1 COPD, who were...
