The role of gene–environment interactions in lung disease: the urgent need for the exposome
Craig E. Wheelock, Stephen M. Rappaport
Abstract
<b>Genetic susceptibility can alter the initiation of lung diseases, but environmental triggers are vital determinants. There is an urgent need to study the exposome – the sum total of environmental exposures – to understand the aetiology of lung diseases.</b>http://bit.ly/2YG5XpP
