Novel idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis susceptibility variants revealed by deep sequencing

Abstract excerpt

Background Specific common and rare single nucleotide variants (SNVs) increase the likelihood of developing sporadic idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). We performed target-enriched sequencing on three loci previously identified by a genome-wide association study to gain a deeper understanding of the full spectrum of IPF genetic risk and performed a two-stage case–control association study. Methods A total of...
