متن کاملVariants of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease genes and lung function decline in aging.
BACKGROUND A substantial proportion of the general population has low lung function, and lung function is known to decrease as we age. Low lung function is a feature of several pulmonary disorders, such as uncontrolled asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The objective of this study is to investigate the association of polymorphisms in asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disea...
