Allergology International, 2011 Previous family studies suggested that genetic variation contributes to COPD susceptibility. The only gene proven to influence COPD susceptibility is SERPINA1, encoding α1-antitrypsin. Most studies on COPD candidate genes except SERPINA1, have not been consistently replicated.

Thorax, 2003 In their recent review1 MacNee and Calverley provided an excellent summary of the management of COPD. However, I question their assertions regarding domiciliary oxygen. Citing the work of Gorecka et al 2 and Chaouat et al ,3 it is stated that domiciliary oxygen does not benefit patients with relatively mild hypoxaemia or isolated nocturnal desaturation.
