    ABSTRACT: Airway wall thickening (AWT) plays an important pathophysiological role in airway diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). There are only a few studies on the genetic components contributing to AWT in the Korean population. This study aimed to identify AWT-related single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) using a genome-wide association study (GWAS). We performed GWAS for AWT using the CODA and KUCOPD cohorts. Thereafter, a meta-analysis was performed. Airway wall thickness was measured using automatic segmentation software. The AWT at an internal perimeter of 10 mm (AWT-Pi10) was calculated by the square root of the theoretical airway wall area using the full-width-half-maximum method. We identified a significant SNP (rs11648772, p = 1.41 × 10−8) located in
