Genetic variants affecting cross-sectional lung function in adults show little or no effect on longitudinal lung function decline

Background: Genome-wide association studies have identified numerous genetic regions that influence cross-sectional lung function. Longitudinal decline in lung function also includes a heritable component but the genetic determinants have yet to be defined. Objectives: We aimed to determine whether...
