Genetic characterization of a Chinese family with familial idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.

Chinese medical journal - 1 Jun 2012

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic inflammatory interstitial lung disease with an unknown cause. Recent studies have shown that genetic factors play an important role in the pathogenesis of IPF. METHODS: To explore the genetic background of patients with IPF, a candidate gene approach was employed to screen for mutations in seven genes among members with familial IPF in mainland of...
