Abstract
A method for predicting the constitution susceptible to the onset of specific diseases in individual humans, for example, respiratory diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases, sinobronchial syndrome, pulmonary emphysema, diffuse panbronchiolitis or bronchiectasis, effects of treatment on patients or prognosis of the treatment by analyzing the genetic polymorphisms of a human trypsin-like enzyme of the respiratory tract.
