Serum, Plasma and DNA Bank in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
Serum, Plasma and DNA Bank of Patients With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease and Smoking Controls.

A Plasma, serum and DNA bank together with clinical information including specific questionnaires, complete pulmonary function and chest CT-scan, is prospectivelly collected in patients seen at the investigators' clinical service. The objective is to study candidate gene pathways in COPD and to associate them with the presence and severity of COPD/emphysema.

All patients with a smoking history of at least 15 pack years, an minimal age of 50 years and an recent available CT scan are enrolled.

In addition we collect:

  • specific questionnaires (MRC, CCQ and smoking history)
  • medical and professional history
  • complete pulmonary function (spirometry, bodyplethysmography and diffusing capacity)
  • serum, plasma and DNA samples.
