Abstract excerpt
Background: Smokers with similar smoking exposure show markedly different risks of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and it remains unclear whether genetically determined nicotine metabolism, measured by the nicotine metabolite ratio (NMR), is independently associated with COPD beyond smoking exposure. Methods: This study integrated genetic evidence and population-based phenotypic analyses. First,...
