Abstract excerpt
Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) is the most common type of Idiopathic Interstitial Pneumonias (IIP). The aim of this study is to determine the mutation of variants in four telomere-related genes and to determine the possible relationship between these mutations and telomere shortening in order to contribute to the understanding of the pathophysiology of IPF. For this study, 34 individuals with IPF, 32...
