Moreover, although scholars have found that several gene polymorphisms might be related to COPD susceptibility [9, 10], the correlation between polymorphisms of the four genes (ANO3/MUC15 rs15783, COL4A4 rs1800517, RRBP1 rs11960, and KLK1 rs5516) and COPD risk is still poorly understood. Here, KLK1 is linked to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
