Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Genome-wide association studies have identified several genetic risk loci for severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and emphysema. However, these studies do not fully explain disease heritability and in most cases, fail to implicate specific genes. Integrative methods that combine gene expression data with GWAS can provide more power in discovering disease-associated genes and give...
