Abstract excerpt
Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have identified multiple genetic loci associated with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Here, we identify SNPs that are associated with alternative splicing (splicing quantitative trait loci [sQTLs]) and gene expression (expression QTLs [eQTLs]) to identify functions for COPD-associated genetic variants. RNA sequencing on whole blood from 3,743 subjects in the...
