Abstract

BackgroundPulmonary function decline is a major contributor to morbidity and mortality among smokers. Post bronchodilator FEV1 and FEV1-FVC ratio are considered the standard assessment of airflow obstruction. We performed a genome-wide association study GWAS in 9919 current and former smokers in the COPDGene study 6659 non-Hispanic Whites NHW and 3260 African Americans AA to identify associations with spirometric measures post-bronchodilator FEV1 and FEV1-FVC. We also conducted meta-analysis of FEV1 and FEV1-FVC GWAS in the COPDGene, ECLIPSE, and GenKOLS cohorts total n = 13,532.

ResultsAmong NHW in the COPDGene cohort, both measures of pulmonary function were significantly associated with SNPs at the 15q25 locus containing CHRNA3-5, AGPHD1, IREB2, CHRNB4 lowest p-value = 2.17 × 10, and FEV1-FVC was associated with a genomic region on chromosome 4 upstream of HHIP lowest p-value = 5.94 × 10; both regions have been previously associated with COPD. For the meta-analysis, in addition to confirming associations to the regions near CHRNA3-5 and HHIP, genome-wide significant associations were identified for FEV1 on chromosome 1 TGFB2 p-value = 8.99 × 10, 9 DBH p-value = 9.69 × 10 and 19 CYP2A6-7 p-value = 3.49 × 10 and for FEV1-FVC on chromosome 1 TGFB2 p-value = 8.99 × 10, 4 FAM13A p-value = 3.88 × 10, 11 MMP3-12 p-value = 3.29 × 10 and 14 RIN3 p-value = 5.64 × 10.

ConclusionsIn a large genome-wide association study of lung function in smokers, we found genome-wide significant associations at several previously described loci with lung function or COPD. We additionally identified a novel genome-wide significant locus with FEV1 on chromosome 9 DBH in a meta-analysis of three study populations.
