Risk of Lung Disease in PI MZ Heterozygotes. Current Status and Future Research Directions.

Annals of the American Thoracic Society - 1 Aug 2016

Silverman Edwin K

Abstract excerpt

The potential for increased chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) risk among PI MZ subjects was initially recognized decades ago. However, despite many studies of this topic, it has remained controversial whether such increased risk exists. Several recent studies in large populations strongly support increased risk for COPD among PI MZ subjects. This increased PI MZ risk will need to be understood in the...
