Abstract:
Shrine et al.1 conducted the largest multi-ancestry genome-wide meta-analysis of lung function and identified 1,020 signals associated with lung function. These provide novel insights into the genetic underpins of lung function and may inform better clinical management of respiratory disorders.

COPD: Pathogenesis and Clinical Features
The primary cause for the onset of COPD is cigarette smoking and exposure to air pollution. These hazardous factors initiate a chain reaction within the lungs, resulting in chronic inflammation, damage to the airways, and a...
