Genome-wide association study of image-based emphysema scoring in the Swedish CArdioPulmonary bioImage Study (SCAPIS) suggests two new risk loci in smokers

Abstract Background Despite the high prevalence and clinical significance of emphysema, few genetic risk loci have been consistently replicated. We conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of CT-based emphysema, with a particular focus on non-smoking-related genetic deter...
