Participation of <i>HHIP</i> Gene Variants in COPD Susceptibility, Lung Function, and Serum and Sputum Protein Levels in Women Exposed to Biomass-Burning Smoke

Background: A variety of organic materials (biomass) are burned for cooking and heating purposes in poorly ventilated houses; smoke from biomass combustion is considered an environmental risk factor for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease COPD. In this study, we attempted to determine the particip...
