1. Project updates
a. Integrative genomics: submitted (Bosse)
b. Emphysema: in progress. All primary analyses complete from COPDGene Nhw, COPDGene Aa, GenKOLS, ECLIPSE, FHS, MESA Nhw, MESA Aa, Mesa Chinese. Need to clarify HRC and secondary analyses. Re-contact other studies.
c. Case control: UK biobank access approved. Discussion about the role of biobanks -- Beaty, Hobbs, Busch, all commented -- is an important source especially going forward, consider symptom-directed, overlap with other signals, role of exacerbations.
d. GxE occupation interaction (Boezen)
