Proteomics-Based Risk Prediction and Drug Targets Identification for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a leading cause of global mortality, yet existing risk prediction models remain limited. A recent study published in Thorax has developed and validated a protein-based risk score for COPD, comparing its performance against COPD polygenic risk scores (PRSs) and clinical risk factors. The study
