A genome-wide association study of quantitative computed tomographic emphysema in Korean populations

Abstract Emphysema is an important feature of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Genetic factors likely affect emphysema pathogenesis, but this question has predominantly been studied in those of European ancestry. In this study, we sought to determine genetic components of emphysema seve...
