  • Analyses were adjusted for age, % of predicted forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1) and principal components for genetic ancestry. Patients who were current smokers were considered as ‘controls’, while patients who were former smokers were considered as ‘cases’.

  • P values < 0.05 are depicted in bold. N/Nimp, number of studies contributing to the meta-analysis/number of studies in which SNP was imputed; I2, heterogeneity index; Q stat., p value for Q statistic; p, p value from the fixed effect meta-analysis; Freq., effect allele frequency in 3441 patients with at least one non-missing phenotype from four cohorts studied; Chr., chromosome.
