Boston Early-Onset COPD Study. Boston Early-Onset COPD Study

This study contains whole genome sequence data and harmonized phenotype variables produced as part of NHLBI's Trans-Omics for Precision Medicine (TOPMed) Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) project. The National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI) Trans-Omics for Precision Medicine (TOPMed) program is designed to generate scientific resources to enhance understanding of fundamental biological processes that underlie heart, lung, blood and sleep disorders (HLBS). It is part of a broader Precision Medicine Initiative which aims to provide disease treatments that are tailored to an individual's unique genes and environment. TOPMed will contribute to this initiative through the integration of whole-genome sequencing (WGS) and other -omics (e.g., metabolic profiles, protein and RNA expression patterns) data with molecular, behavioral, imaging, environmental, and clinical data. In doing so this program seeks to uncover factors that increase or decrease the risk... (for more see dbGaP study page.)
