- Title
Fifty Years On: GWAS Confirms the Role of a Rare Variant in Lung Disease.
- Authors
Turner, Alice M.
- Abstract
The article discusses research being done on alpha one antitrypsin deficiency (AATD). It references the study "Causal and Synthetic Association of Variants in the Serpina Gene Cluster With Alpha-Antitrypsin Serum Levels," by G. A. Thun et al. published in the 2013 issue of "PLoS Genetics." The researchers used the genome-wide association study (GWAS) approach in investigating asthma based on the sequencing of SERPINA1 allele fine mapping.
