  "summary": "Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a complex, heterogeneous disease influenced by genetic and environmental factors. However, the interactions between COPD risk genes and their collective role in COPD susceptibility remain largely elusive. We hypothesize that the protein-protein interaction (PPI) network of genes associated with COPD risk can provide molecular insight…",
