“…[18][19][20] One used lung function (% predicted FEV 1 ) 18 and two studies used comorbidities (ie, "acute bronchitis and bronchiolitis", "pneumonia, organism unspecified", "shortness of breath", "respiratory distress or insufficiency", "diabetes mellitus", "acute upper respiratory infection", "viral and chlamydial infections", and "heart failure") or having respiratory infections as predictors (respiratory infections in childhood). 17,19 Included in the final model of Guo et al 17 were five single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) (rs2070600, rs10947233, rs1800629, rs2241712, and rs1205) chosen out of a possible 76 identified in a preliminary genome wide association study (GWAS). Two studies developed models separately for men and women.…”
