Complex genetics of pulmonary diseases: lessons from genome-wide association studies and next-generation sequencing.

Abstract excerpt

The advent of high-throughput technologies has provided exceptional assistance for lung scientists to discover novel genetic variants underlying the development and progression of complex lung diseases. However, the discovered variants thus far do not explain much of the estimated heritability of complex lung diseases. Here, we review the literature of successfully used genome-wide association studies (GWASs) and...
