Abstract

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a common respiratory disease characterized primarily by airflow limitation that is not fully reversible and progressively worsens over time. The pathogenesis of COPD is complex, involving the interplay of environmental factors (such as smoking) and genetic predispositions. This paper reviews recent advances in COPD-related genetic research, focusing on how genetic variations influence the risk, progression, and treatment response of COPD.
