Abstract excerpt
Genome-wide association studies have identified common variants associated with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) offers comprehensive coverage of the entire genome, as compared with genotyping arrays or exome sequencing. We hypothesized that WGS in subjects with severe COPD and smoking control subjects with normal pulmonary function would allow us to identify novel...
