<h4>Background</h4>The aim of this study is to identify genetic loci associated with post-bronchodilator FEV<sub>1</sub>/FVC and FEV<sub>1</sub>, and develop a multi-gene predictive model for lung function in COPD.<h4>Methods</h4>Genome-wide association study (GWAS) of post-bronchodilator FEV<sub>1</sub>/FVC and FEV<sub>1</sub> was performed in 1645 non-Hispanic White European descent smokers.<h4>Results</h4>A functional rare variant in SERPINA1 (rs28929474: Glu342Lys) was significantly associat ...[more]
