Pending: CHS, Lovelace, SPIROMICS. 

Using EasyQC (from GIANT), and will share with Marike and Kim to do a parallel meta-analysis through Syncplicity.

Not all studies are submitting all analyses, also variable who submits an X chromosome analysis - will need to be addressed.

2.Emphysema analysis: draft analysis plan circulated: participating cohorts currently: BWH Lung tissue, COPACETIC/NELSON, COPDGene, ECLIPSE, Framingham, GenKOLS, MESA, NETT, Rotterdam, SPIROMICS, TESRA.

Note that these will also likely require using pre-bronchodilator FEV1.
