Gene-environment interaction from international cohorts: impact on development and evolution of occupational and environmental lung and airway disease.

Abstract excerpt

Environmental and occupational pulmonary diseases impose a substantial burden of morbidity and mortality on the global population. However, it has been long observed that only some of those who are exposed to pulmonary toxicants go on to develop disease; increasingly, it is being recognized that genetic differences may underlie some of this person-to-person variability. Studies performed throughout the globe are...
