• DNAH5 is associated with total lung capacity in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease 

      Lee, Jin H.; McDonald, Merry-Lynn N.; Cho, Michael H.; Wan, Emily S.; Castaldi, Peter J.; Hunninghake, Gary M.; Marchetti, Nathaniel; Lynch, David A.; Crapo, James D.; Lomas, David A.; Coxson, Harvey O.; Bakke, Per; Silverman, Edwin K.; Hersh, Craig P. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-08-20)
      Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is characterized by expiratory flow limitation, causing air trapping and lung hyperinflation. Hyperinflation leads to reduced exercise tolerance and poor quality of ...
    • Genetic susceptibility for chronic bronchitis in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease 

      Lee, Jin H.; Cho, Michael H.; Hersh, Craig P.; McDonald, Merry-Lynn N.; Crapo, James D.; Bakke, Per; Gulsvik, Amund; Comellas, Alejandro P.; Wendt, Christine H.; Lomas, David A.; Kim, Victor; Silverman, Edwin K.; on behalf of the COPDGene and ECLIPSE Investigators (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-09-21)
      Background: Chronic bronchitis (CB) is one of the classic phenotypes of COPD. The aims of our study were to investigate genetic variants associated with COPD subjects with CB relative to smokers with normal spirometry, and ...
    • Genetics of Sputum Gene Expression in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease 

      Qiu, Weiliang; Cho, Michael H.; Riley, John H.; Anderson, Wayne H.; Singh, Dave; Bakke, Per; Gulsvik, Amund; Litonjua, Augusto A.; Lomas, David A.; Crapo, James D.; Beaty, Terri H.; Celli, Bartolome R.; Rennard, Stephen I.; Tal-Singer, Ruth; Fox, Steven M.; Silverman, Edwin K.; Hersh, Craig P. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2011-09-16)
      Previous expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) studies have performed genetic association studies for gene expression, but most of these studies examined lymphoblastoid cell lines from non-diseased individuals. We ...
    • A genome-wide association study in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD): Identification of two major susceptibility loci 

      Pillai, Sreekumar G.; Ge, Dongliang; Zhu, Guohua; Kong, Xiangyang; Shianna, Kevin V.; Need, Anna C.; Feng, Sheng; Hersh, Craig P.; Bakke, Per S.; Gulsvik, Amund; Ruppert, Andreas; Carlsen, Karin Cecilie Lødrup; Roses, Allen; Anderson, Wayne; Rennard, Stephen I.; Lomas, David A.; Silverman, Edwin K.; Goldstein, David B. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2009-03-20)
      There is considerable variability in the susceptibility of smokers to develop chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The only known genetic risk factor is severe deficiency of α1-antitrypsin, which is present in ...
    • A genome-wide association study of bronchodilator response in participants of European and African ancestry from six independent cohorts 

      Gereige, Jessica D.; Xu, Hanfei; Ortega, Victor E.; Cho, Michael H.; Liu, Ming; Sakornsakolpat, Phuwanat; Silverman, Edwin K.; Beaty, Terri H.; Miller, Bruce E.; Bakke, Per S.; Gulsvik, Amund; Hersh, Craig P.; Morrow, Jarrett D.; Ampleford, Elizabeth J.; Hawkins, Gregory A.; Bleecker, Eugene R.; Meyers, Deborah A.; Peters, Stephen P.; Celedón, Juan C.; Tantisira, Kelan; Li, Jiang; Dupuis, Josée; O’connor, George T. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      Introduction Bronchodilator response (BDR) is a measurement of acute bronchodilation in response to short-acting β2-agonists, with a heritability between 10 and 40%. Identifying genetic variants associated with BDR may ...
