Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Reduced lung function in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is likely due to both environmental and genetic factors. We report here a targeted high-throughput DNA sequencing approach to identify new and previously known genetic variants in a set of candidate genes for COPD. METHODS: Exons in 22 genes implicated in lung development as well as 61 genes and 10 genomic regions...
