Abstract excerpt
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a complex disease with many pathological components. Familial clustering indicates that genetic susceptibility may be important for the development of the disease. Genes encoding scavenger and β2-adrenergic receptors are plausible candidate genes in COPD. Using data from two large Danish general population studies, we studied rare functional variants in the genes...
