Abstract excerpt
The intricate interactions between environmental exposures, the respiratory microbiome, and host genetic variations remain inadequately understood in the context of respiratory health. This study utilized sputum metagenomic data from 1,651 individuals in our previous cohort to elucidate these associations. Mendelian randomization indicated that air pollutants (e.g., SO2, CO, and PM2.5) were associated with lung...
