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...

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...
