Abstract excerpt
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a specific form of chronic interstitial pneumonia limited to the lung and characterized by a fibroproliferative response with only minor signs of inflammation, which almost always causes rapid fibrotic destruction of the lung. In this study, we investigated genomic instability in IPF, using microsatellite DNA analysis, aiming to detect any specific genetic alterations for...
