Implication

Prospective cohort studies reveal that multi-trait polygenic scores improve COPD prediction, indicating druggable proteins for enhanced treatment options.

Key Points

Multi-trait PRS predicts COPD status and exacerbation risk more accurately than traditional scores.
In cohorts, PRSmulti showed an odds ratio of 1.58 for COPD status, indicating significant correlation.
Using proteomic data, 73 proteins related to the PRS were identified, with 25 linked to drug development.
Identifying druggable proteins highlights opportunities for precision medicine in COPD management.
