NIH-Funded Study Unveils Potential Genetic Links to Lung Disease Risk | Highlight HEALTH

highlighthealth.com — “A new study involving data from more than 20,000 individuals has uncovered several DNA sequences linked to impaired pulmonary function. The research, an analysis that combined the results of several smaller studies, provides insight into the mechanisms involved in reaching full lung capacity. The findings may ultimately lead to better understanding of lung function and diseases like asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), the fourth leading cause of death in the United States.View full resource at highlighthealth.com
