Outline of Final Research Achievements

Genome-wide association studies for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) have been developed, and COPD-associated genes have been reported. We aimed to explore these genes by using 2nd generation sequencer, and elucidate the differences of sequences between COPD patients and the control subjects in Japanese population. After approval of IRB, DNAs were collected from 90 COPD patients. Clinical information of each patient was also collected. Sequences of previously reported COPD-associated genes such as INTS12, GSTCD, NPNT, AGER, ADAM19, BICD1, SERPINA1, CHRNA3/5 were analyzed. There were variants in these genes in Japanese population. Our future plans are to examine the significance of these variances in the pathogenesis of COPD.
