Abstract excerpt
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a complex disease influenced by well-established environmental exposures (most notably, cigarette smoking) and incompletely defined genetic factors. The chromosome 4q region harbors multiple genetic risk loci for COPD, including signals near HHIP, FAM13A, GSTCD, TET2, and BTC. Leveraging RNA-Seq data from lung tissue in COPD cases and controls, we estimated the...
