Massive 15-Year hunt for the smoking gene
NCT ID NCT00608764
Summary
This large, long-term study aims to discover why only some cigarette smokers develop Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), a serious lung condition. Researchers are following over 10,000 current and former smokers for 15 years to see if specific genes make some people more likely to get COPD. The study involves health questionnaires, lung tests, CT scans, and genetic analysis from blood samples.
