Scientists hunt for genetic clues to why some young people get severe lung disease
NCT ID NCT01177618
Summary
This study aims to discover genetic factors that make some people develop severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) at a very young age. Researchers are enrolling 2,000 people who developed severe COPD before age 53, along with their family members, to collect health information, breathing test results, and blood samples. The goal is to better understand what causes early-onset COPD to help develop future treatments.
