Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Two recent large meta-analyses of genome-wide association studies of lung function in general populations of European descent identified 11 candidate genes/regions. The importance of these genes in lung function in white and African American subjects with asthma is unknown. OBJECTIVES: To determine whether genes that regulate lung function in general populations are associated with lung function...
