Polymorphic variation in surfactant protein B is associated with COPD exacerbationsM G Foreman
Channing Laboratory, Brigham and Women s Hospital, Boston, MA 02115, USA
Eur Respir J 32:938-44. 2008..In conclusion, genetic variation in surfactant protein B is associated with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease susceptibility and exacerbation frequency...
Polymorphisms in the superoxide dismutase-3 gene are associated with emphysema in COPDI C Sørheim
Brigham and Women s Hospital and Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts, USA
COPD 7:262-8. 2010..In conclusion, polymorphisms in the SOD3 gene were associated with CT emphysema but not COPD susceptibility, highlighting the importance of phenotype definition in COPD genetics studies...
Development of predictive models for airflow obstruction in alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiencyP J Castaldi
Institute for Clinical Research and Health Policy Studies, Tufts Medical Center, Boston, MA, USA
Am J Epidemiol 170:1005-13. 2009..In the validation sample, the predictive model for FEV(1) explained 50% of the variance in FEV(1), and the model for severe COPD exhibited excellent discrimination (c statistic = 0.88)...

Channing Laboratory and Department of Medicine, Brigham and Women s Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA 02115, USA
Thorax 59:396-400. 2004..We hypothesised that first degree relatives of early onset COPD probands may also have lower values of spirometric parameters such as forced expiratory flow at the mid-portion of forced vital capacity (FEF(25-75)) and FEF(25-75)/FVC...
