The cyclooxygenase-2-765C promoter polymorphism protects against the development of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

This Paper is dedicated to our close friend and mentor Professor Peter Black who died suddenly in January 2010. Peter was instrumental in the conception and design of this study. His death is a huge loss to the COPD research community and to us personally.
