| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
A follow-up survey of 1312 healthy volunteers for 5 years demonstrated 35 new-onset asthma and 11 COPD patients. FEV1/FVC in the COPD group was significantly lower than that in the control group. Heretabilities for %FVC, %FEV1, and FEV1/FVC were estimated to be 71, 52, and 42%, respectively. Then, genome-wide association study using the healthy volunteers and asthma patients suggested that HAS2 and HCG22 are associated with the development of asthma.
