The Genetics of Pneumothorax

25 Jan 2019

Abstract excerpt

Abstract A genetic influence on spontaneous pneumothoraces—those occurring without a traumatic or iatrogenic cause—is supported by several lines of evidence: 1) pneumothorax can cluster in families (i.e., familial spontaneous pneumothorax), 2) mutations in the FLCN gene have been found in both familial and sporadic cases, and 3) pneumothorax is a known complication of several genetic syndromes. Herein, we review...
