COPDGene subjects were of self-reported NHW or African-American ancestry, and genotyped using the HumanOmniExpress array (Illumina) [18 (link)]. Details on the processing of the COPDGene genotype data have been reported [18 (link)]. Briefly, genotyping was performed using the HumanOmniExpress array, and BeadStudio quality control, including reclustering on project samples was performed following Illumina guidelines. Subjects and markers with a call rate of < 95% were excluded. Population stratification exclusion and adjustment on self-reported white subjects was performed using EIGENSTRAT (EIGENSOFT Version 2.0).
