A large scale gene-centric association study of lung function in newly-hired female cotton textile workers with endotoxin exposure.

A large scale gene-centric association study of lung function in newly-hired female cotton textile workers with endotoxin exposure.

Occupational exposure to endotoxin is associated with decrements in pulmonary function, but how much variation in this association is explained by genetic variants is not well understood.We aimed to identify single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that are associated with the rate of forced expirator...
