Two studies report genome-wide association studies for lung function, using cross-sectional spirometric measurements in healthy individuals. They identify six genetic loci newly associated to natural variation in lung function, which may have implications for the related airway diseases of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
两项研究报告了使用健康个体的横断面肺功能测量值进行的全基因组关联研究。他们鉴定了六个新的与肺功能自然变异相关的遗传位点,这可能对哮喘和慢性阻塞性肺疾病等相关气道疾病具有重要意义。
