Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Chronic sputum production impacts on quality of life and is a feature of many respiratory diseases. Identification of the genetic variants associated with chronic sputum production in a disease agnostic sample could improve understanding of its causes and identify new molecular targets for treatment. METHODS: We conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of chronic sputum production in UK...
