Only 11 or mutations have so far been reported worldwide, of which five have been functionally assessed.

- The study investigates comorbidities in patients with COPD, focusing on those exposed to organic dust (like dairy farmers) and tobacco smoking.

The clinician must know them well and therefore systematically seek them for any newly diagnosed case.
