Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: FAM13A as a susceptibility gene for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD).Many studies verified that FAM13A involved epithelial‒mesenchymal transition (EMT) via the TGF-β1 pathway, some accompanied by an increase in MMP levels. The present study aimed to explore the disease susceptibility of the FAM13A gene, with clinical phenotypes, and investigate the relationships between FAM13A SNP loci and the...
