Over the past decade, genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have led to the identification of a dramatic number of novel genetic loci as determinants of common disease (1). Equally striking as the number of published GWAS (2) is the lack of representation of non-European populations, especially African American and Hispanic populations in the United States (3). In the field of lung disease, which is no exception to the issue of health disparities in the United States, there has been minimal focus on genetics in Hispanic and African American populations despite mounting evidence of racial health disparities in prevalence and mortality. African Americans present with similar impairment in lung function despite fewer pack-years of smoking as compared with non-Hispanic whites (NHWs)(4). Spirometry alone does not adequately capture variations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), which is a multicomponent disease caused by a combination of emphysema-induced loss of elastic recoil and small-and large-airway remodeling. African Americans display different patterns in emphysema distribution as compared with NHWs (5, 6). Although studies suggest Hispanics have a lower risk of COPD and improved outcomes compared with NHWs (7, 8), as the fastest-growing population in the United States (9), Hispanics are projected to ultimately represent a larger proportion of COPD burden. The article by Manichaikul and colleagues (pp. 408–418) in this issue of the Journal (10) argues in favor of the diversification of populations studied as a critical aspect of the future of understanding the missing heritability
