Exploring the genetics of airflow limitation in lung function across the lifespan – a polygenic risk score study
12 Aug 2024
Abstract excerpt
Background Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is caused by interactions between many factors across the life course, including genetics. A proportion of COPD may be due to reduced lung growth in childhood. We hypothesized that a polygenic risk score (PRS) for COPD is associated with lower lung function already in childhood and up to adulthood. Methods A weighted PRS was calculated based on the 82...
