Genes and pathways underlying susceptibility to impaired lung function in the context of environmental tobacco smoke exposure

Abstract Background Studies aiming to assess genetic susceptibility for impaired lung function levels upon exposure to environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) have thus far focused on candidate-genes selected based on a-priori knowledge of potentially relevant biological pathways, such as glutathione S-tr...
