Background: Although existing studies have identified some genetic loci associated with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) susceptibility, many variants remain to be discovered. The aim of this study was to further explore the potential relationship between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and COPD risk.
Methods: Nine hundred and ninety-six subjects were recruited (498 COPD cases and 498 healthy controls). Five candidate SNPs of were selected and genotyped using MassARRAY iPLEX platform. Logistic regression analysis was performed to assess the association of these SNPs with COPD risk. Multifactor dimensionality reduction (MDR) software was applied to calculate the interaction of SNP-SNP on COPD risk.
Results: rs9807989 (OR = 0.42, < .001), rs3771166 (OR = 0.40, < .001) and rs6543124 (OR = 0.44, < .001) were associated with the reduced COPD risk, while rs2287037 (OR = 2.71, < .001) and rs2058622 (OR = 2.06, < .001) might be the risk-increasing factor for COPD occurrence in both the overall analysis and subgroup analysis (age, gender, drinking, and smoking). The best multi-locus model was the combination of rs2058622 and rs3771166.
Conclusion: Our study provided a reference and basis for investigating the association of polymorphisms with COPD risk.

The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in many survivors experiencing post-acute COVID-19 syndrome (PCS) with symptoms including fatigue, breathlessness, and cognitive complaints. E-cigarette use has already been associated with increased susceptibility to COVID-19 because of its effects on ACE2 receptor expression and inflammation, raising concern that it might worsen the long-term outcomes of COVID-19, including PCS. While traditional smoking is associated with a higher risk of PCS, the role of e-cigarettes remains unclear due to conflicting evidence.

Importance: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is often undiagnosed. Although genetic risk plays a significant role in COPD susceptibility, its utility in guiding spirometry testing and identifying undiagnosed cases is unclear.
Objective: To determine whether a COPD polygenic risk score (PRS) enhances the identification of undiagnosed COPD beyond a case-finding questionnaire (eg, the Lung Function Questionnaire) using conventional risk factors and respiratory symptoms.

Background: Chronic respiratory diseases (CRD) represents a series of lung disorders and is posing a global health burden. Systemic inflammation and phenotypic ageing have been respectively reported to associate with certain CRD. However, little is known about the co-exposures and mutual associations of inflammation and ageing with CRD.

Tobacco smoking is prevalent across the world and causes numerous diseases. Cigarette smoke (CS) compromises immunity, yet little is known of the components of CS that impact T cell function. MR1 is a ubiquitous molecule that presents bacterial metabolites to MAIT cells, which are highly abundant in the lungs.
