Genetic overlap of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and cardiovascular disease-related traits: a large-scale genome-wide cross-trait analysis
2 Apr 2019
Abstract excerpt
A growing number of studies clearly demonstrate a substantial association between chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and cardiovascular diseases (CVD), although little is known about the shared genetics that contribute to this association. We conducted a large-scale cross-trait genome-wide association study to investigate genetic overlap between COPD (N case = 12,550, N control = 46,368) from the...
