Use of a genealogical database demonstrates heritability of pulmonary fibrosis.

Lung - 1 Oct 2013

Scholand Mary Beth, Coon Hilary, Wolff Roger, Cannon-Albright Lisa

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Pulmonary fibrosis (PF) is a progressive fatal disease of unknown etiology. Identification of risk genes and pathways will enhance our understanding of this disease. Analysis of Utah genealogical resources has shown previously strong evidence for a genetic contribution to other disease, such as cancer. This approach has led to gene discovery in diseases, such as breast cancer and colon cancer and is...
