Abstract excerpt
Genetic variants near Hedgehog interacting protein (HHIP) have been consistently associated with increased risk for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), the third leading cause of death worldwide. However, HHIP's role in COPD pathogenesis remains elusive. Canonically, HHIP is a negative regulator of the Hedgehog pathway and downstream GLI1 and GLI2 activation. The Hedgehog pathway plays an important role...
