• You have been diagnosed with one of the following conditions: asthma, a fungal-related lung condition called ABPA, bronchiectasis, sleep apnea (OSAS), or COPD
• You have a specific breathing pattern on lung function tests where airflow is relatively normal but overall lung capacity is reduced — known as PRISm (confirm with trial site)
• If joining as a "smoking control": you have smoked at least 10 pack-years, have normal lung function, and have no ongoing breathing symptoms
• If joining as a "healthy control": you have normal lung function, low levels of airway inflammation and allergy markers on tests, no long-term illness, have smoked less than 10 pack-years, and have not taken immune-suppressing medicines in the last 3 months
