International audience. The main limitation to long-term lung transplant (LT) survival is chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD), which leads to irreversible lung damage and significant mortality. Individual factors can impact CLAD, but no large genetic investigation has been conducted to date. We established the multicentric Genetic COhort in Lung Transplantation (GenCOLT) biobank from a rich and homogeneous sub-part of COLT cohort. GenCOLT collected DNA, high-quality GWAS (genome-wide association study) genotyping and robust HLA data for donors and recipients to supplement COLT clinical data. GenCOLT closely mirrors the global COLT cohort without significant variations in variables like demographics, initial disease and survival rates ( P > 0.05). The GenCOLT donors were 45 years-old on average, 44% women, and primarily died of stroke (54%). The recipients were 48 years-old at transplantation on average, 45% women, and the main underlying disease was chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (45%). The mean follow-up time was 67 months and survival at 5 years was 57.3% for the CLAD subgroup and 97.4% for the non-CLAD subgroup. After stringent quality controls, GenCOLT gathered more than 7.3 million SNP and HLA genotypes for 387 LT pairs, including 91% pairs composed of donor and recipient of European ancestry. Overall, GenCOLT is an accurate snapshot of LT clinical practice in France and Belgium between 2009 and 2018. It currently represents one of the largest genetic biobanks dedicated to LT with data available simultaneously for donors and recipients. This unique cohort will empower to run comprehensive GWAS investigations of CLAD and other LT outcomes.
