BACKGROUND: Despite the high prevalence and clinical significance of emphysema, few genetic risk loci have been consistently replicated. We conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of CT-based emphysema, with a particular focus on non-smoking-related genetic determinants. METHODS: We analyzed 25,639 individuals of European ancestry from the SCAPIS national cohort, aged 50-65 years, of which 51% were...
