21 Oct 2014
Abstract excerpt
RATIONALE: Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is an untreatable and often fatal lung disease that is increasing in prevalence and is caused by complex interactions between genetic and environmental factors. Epigenetic mechanisms control gene expression and are likely to regulate the IPF transcriptome. OBJECTIVES: To identify methylation marks that modify gene expression in IPF lung. METHODS: We assessed DNA...
