Abstract
Hypoxemia is a major complication of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) that correlates with disease prognosis. Identifying genetic variants associated with oxygenation may provide clues for deciphering the heterogeneity in prognosis among COPD patients. However, previous genetic studies have been restricted to investigating COPD candidate genes for association with hypoxemia. To report results from the first genome-wide association study (GWAS) of resting oxygen saturation in COPD cases, we performed a GWAS of pulse oximetry (SpO2) in two large, well-characterized COPD populations: COPDGene, including both the Non-Hispanic White and African American groups, and ECLIPSE. We identified several suggestive loci (P
