Study Summary

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a lung disease that is primarily caused by cigarette smoking. The breakdown of elastin, a protein found in the lungs, can cause lung damage and may contribute to the development of COPD. Some people may be more prone to elastin damage and in turn to developing COPD than others. This study will examine whether genetic factors are responsible for altering elastin function and increasing the risk of developing COPD.
