Fig. 1From: The discovery BPD (D-BPD) program: study protocol of a prospective translational multicenter collaborative study to investigate determinants of chronic lung disease in very low birth weight infantsThe D-BPD research areas integration. The clinical data core, using machine learning strategies will leverage the detailed longitudinal clinical data the gene susceptibility program using genome-wide association mapping and positional cloning in murine strains to identify candidate susceptibility genes, and a basic science molecular program exploring mechanistic correlates of clinical and genetic findings associated with BPD endotypes.
