FEV1: forced expiratory volume in one second; FVC: forced vital capacity; MEF50 maximum expiratory flow when 50% of the FVC has been exhaled; GOLD: global initiative for chronic obstructive lung disease. Percentages are column percentages. Genotyping succeeded in 1226 (100%) and 1224 (99.8%) COPACETIC participants, respectively for rs1051730 and rs8034191.
