(2 of 2) Genetic Epidemiology of COPD
Description: PROJECT NARRATIVE We propose a ten-year longitudinal follow-up of subjects in COPDGene, an extensively phenotyped cohort of more than 10,000 non-Hispanic White and African American smokers at risk for or with COPD. Whole genome sequencing is being performed to identify rare and common genetic determinants of COPD. The comprehensive clinical, imaging, and genetic data is being used to develop and validate a new classification system for COPD.
