Genetic causes of bronchiectasis.

Abstract excerpt

Our understanding of the pathologic cycle leading to the development of bronchiectasis is enhanced by greater understanding of the genetic influences contributing to its development. Genome-wide linkage analysis, family-based genetic linkage studies, and the testing of candidate genes have all greatly advanced our understanding of the complexity of the genetic basis of bronchiectasis. This article discusses how...
