Background Chronic sputum production impacts on quality of life and is a feature of many respiratory diseases. Identification of the genetic variants associated with chronic sputum production in a disease agnostic sample could improve understanding o...

Background:
Some people have characteristics of both asthma and COPD (asthma-COPD overlap), and evidence suggests they experience worse outcomes than those with either condition alone.

Research Question:
What is the genetic architecture of as... Read More about Genetic Associations and Architecture of Asthma-COPD Overlap.
