Sixteen new lung function signals identified through 1000 Genomes Project reference panel imputation (2015)
Journal Article

Lung function measures are used in the diagnosis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. In 38,199 European ancestry individuals, we studied genome-wide association of forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1), forced vital capacity (FVC) and FEV1/FVC...

Response (2015)
Journal Article

We thank Dr. Rasmussen and colleagues for their comments on our work outlined in “Genome-wide protein QTL mapping identifies human plasma kallikrein as a post-translational regulator of serum uPAR levels” (FASEB J. 28, 923–934) and the opportunity to... Read More about Response.

Novel insights into the genetics of smoking behaviour, lung function, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (UK BiLEVE): a genetic association study in UK Biobank (2015)
Journal Article

Background Understanding the genetic basis of airflow obstruction and smoking behaviour is key to determining the pathophysiology of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). We used UK Biobank data to study the genetic causes of smoking behav...

Genetic risk factors for the development of allergic disease identified by genome-wide association (2015)
Journal Article

An increasing proportion of the worldwide population is affected by allergic diseases such as allergic rhinitis (AR), atopic dermatitis (AD) and allergic asthma and improved treatment options are needed particularly for severe, refractory disease. Al... Read More about Genetic risk factors for the development of allergic disease identified by genome-wide association.
