Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Genome-wide association studies have identified numerous genetic regions that influence cross-sectional lung function. Longitudinal decline in lung function also includes a heritable component but the genetic determinants have yet to be defined. OBJECTIVES: We aimed to determine whether regions associated with cross-sectional lung function were also associated with longitudinal decline and to seek...
