Abstract excerpt
Genetic factors play a role in the risk of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). Specifically, MUC5B rs35705950 non-risk alleles and immunologic aberrations were associated with the IPF's progression. However, rare genetic variants have not been systematically investigated in Chinese IPF patients. In this study, we aimed to improve understanding of the genetic architecture of IPF in the Chinese population and to...
