Genome-Wide Association Study of Susceptibility to Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (2019)
Journal Article

RATIONALE: Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a complex lung disease characterised by scarring of the lung that is believed to result from an atypical response to injury of the epithelium. Genome-wide association studies have reported signals of... Read More about Genome-Wide Association Study of Susceptibility to Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis.

A data analysis of the Chilean housing stock and the development of modelling archetypes (2019)
Journal Article

Chile is a South American country experiencing greater social and economic development than the majority of its neighbours and whose economy is transitioning from developing to developed status. It is committed to reduce its greenhouse gas (GHG) emis... Read More about A data analysis of the Chilean housing stock and the development of modelling archetypes.

Editorial: understanding differences in patient response to ondansetron in irritable bowel syndrome with diarrhoea-are we any closer? Authors' reply (2019)
Journal Article

Setting the standard: The acceptability of kitchen ventilation for the English housing stock (2019)
Journal Article

Exposure to particulate matter with diameter ?2.5??m (PM2.5) is associated with an elevated risk of adverse health effects and cooking is a primary source of PM2.5 in non-smoking households. Therefore, it is important to investigate PM2.5 concentrati... Read More about Setting the standard: The acceptability of kitchen ventilation for the English housing stock.

Exposure to lippolysaccharide (LPS) reduces contractile response of small airways from GSTCD+ mice (2019)
Journal Article

Introduction: Genome-Wide Association Studies suggest glutathione S transferase C terminal domain (GSTCD) may play a role in development of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease. We aimed to define the potential role of GSTCD in airway inflammation a... Read More about Exposure to lippolysaccharide (LPS) reduces contractile response of small airways from GSTCD+ mice.

Defining a role for lung function associated gene GSTCD in cell homeostasis (2019)
Journal Article

Genome wide association (GWA) studies have reproducibly identified signals on chromosome 4q24 associated with lung function and COPD. GSTCD (Glutathione S-transferase C-terminal domain containing) represents a candidate causal gene in this locus, how...

Challenges of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in rural Nepal (2019)
Journal Article

New genetic signals for lung function highlight pathways and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease associations across multiple ancestries (2019)
Journal Article

Reduced lung function predicts mortality and is key to the diagnosis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). In a genome-wide association study in 400,102 individuals of European ancestry, we define 279 lung function signals, 139 of which ar...

Genetic landscape of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease identifies heterogeneous cell type and phenotype associations (2019)
Journal Article

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is the leading cause of respiratory mortality worldwide. Genetic risk loci provide novel insights into disease pathogenesis. We performed a genome-wide association study in 35,735 cases and 222,076 control...

Investigating measurements of fine particle (PM2.5) emissions from the cooking of meals and mitigating exposure using a cooker hood (2019)
Journal Article

There is growing awareness that indoor exposure to particulate matter with diameter ≤ 2.5μm (PM2.5) is associated with an increased risk of adverse health effects. Cooking is a key indoor source of PM2.5 and an activity conducted daily in most homes....
