Abstract excerpt
The principal determining factors influencing the development of the airway disease and emphysema components of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) have not been clearly defined.

Therefore, we investigated the genetic association of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in COPD...
