Abstract

The article investigates whether genetic variations indicative of α1-Antitrypsin deficiency (A1ATD) or an excess of neutrophil elastase modify lung cancer risk. Sex and ethnicity were comparable between case patients and control subjects, but case patients were more likely to be smokers, and to have a history of COPD, environmental tobacco smoke exposure, and a positive family history of lung cancer. Genotypes indicative of A1ATD and/or excess of neutrophil elastase are significantly associated with lung cancer risk.
