Scientific titleMarkers for emphysema versus airways disease in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
Study acronymMarkers for Emphysema versus Airways disease in COPD
Study objectivesOur hypothesis is that the mechanisms leading to emphysema and airway disease are distinct with respect to the type of inflammatory response in terms of genetic predisposition. The differential pathogenesis for emphysema and inflammatory airway disease entails that the two forms of COPD are linked to different markers at the DNA, RNA and protein level.



The project aims at identifying these markers. The markers will be elements involved in a differential pathogenesis for the different disease processes in COPD. They can be used for diagnostic approaches and therapeutic targets.
