“…We obtained data regarding respiratory health using a standardized questionnaire which included sections from the American Thoracic Society Division of Lung Diseases (ATS/DLD) 6 , European Community Respiratory Health Survey II 7 and Lung Health Study instruments 8 . This questionnaire has been used to investigate respiratory diseases and symptoms 3,9 in a number of countries, including Brazil 5 . Questions related to the presence of respiratory symptoms, self-diagnosis of other chronic diseases, such as asthma, heart disease, systemic arterial hypertension, diabetes, lung cancer, stroke and gastritis or ulcers.…”

“…Calculation of the contribution of loci to sibling relative risk was obtained using overall odds ratios and minor allele frequencies (77,78). Estimation of the fraction of variance explained was calculated using logistic regression and Nagelkerke's pseudo-R 2 (79) as implemented in R Design package, and alternatively using the estimates based on a liability threshold model by So et al (80) using a prevalence of COPD in smokers of 10% (81). LD was calculated for HapMap2 and 1000 Genomes CEU data using SNAP (82).…”
