Predictions The complexity of COPD will be parceled Genes play a role but a significant portion of COPD goes beyond that so epigenetics and the mRNA complex will be researched The “omics” revolution will help Clinical phenotypes are already identifiable. Pathobiological phenotypes will come Smoking cessation and judicious use of current therapies will decrease the impact of COPD The Future is for us to Forge
