Lung function associated gene Integrator Complex subunit 12 regulates protein synthesis pathways (2017)
Journal Article
Kheirallah, A. K., de Moor, C. H., Faiz, A., Sayers, I., & Hall, I. P. (2017). Lung function associated gene Integrator Complex subunit 12 regulates protein synthesis pathways. BMC Genomics, 18(1), Article 248. https://doi.org/10.1186/s12864-017-3628-3

BACKGROUND: Genetic studies of human lung function and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease have identified a highly significant and reproducible signal on 4q24. It remains unclear which of the two candidate genes within this locus may regulate lung...

Targeted sequencing of lung function loci in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease cases and controls (2017)
Journal Article
Artigas, M. S., Wain, L. V., Shrine, N., McKeever, T. M., Sayers, I., Hall, I. P., & Tobin, M. D. (2017). Targeted sequencing of lung function loci in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease cases and controls. PLoS ONE, 12(1), Article e0170222. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0170222

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is the third leading cause of death worldwide; smoking is the main risk factor for COPD, but genetic factors are also relevant contributors. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of the lung function meas... Read More about Targeted sequencing of lung function loci in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease cases and controls.
