Article Synopsis
- COPD is an inflammatory disease mainly affecting smokers and those exposed to biomass-burning smoke (BBS), with certain gene variants linked to its risk.
- Researchers studied 1549 participants to identify associations between two specific single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the heat shock protein (HSP) genes and COPD.
- Findings showed that certain SNPs were linked to a decreased risk of COPD in individuals exposed to BBS and those with severe forms of the disease among smokers.
