Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis: update on genetic discoveries.

Proceedings of the American Thoracic Society - 1 May 2011

Garcia Christine Kim

Abstract excerpt

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive fibrotic disease of the lungs that increases in prevalence with advanced age. Recent evidence indicates that mutations in genes of two different biologic pathways lead to the common phenotype of familial pulmonary fibrosis (FPF) and sporadic IPF. Mutations in the genes encoding the lung surfactant proteins C and A2 (SFTPC and SFTPA2, respectively) cause...
