Analysis of genetically driven alternative splicing identifies FBXO38 as a novel COPD susceptibility gene.

While many disease-associated single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are associated with gene expression (expression quantitative trait loci, eQTLs), a large proportion of complex disease genome-wide association study (GWAS) variants are of unknown function. Some of these SNPs may contribute to dise...
