Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is an age-related disease and the most common manifestation of telomere-mediated disorders. METHODS: We collected detailed medical histories and DNA samples from 100 IPF patients seen at Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital Affiliated to Medical School of Nanjing University. All patients had sporadic IPF, with no family history reported. We screened all...
