Abstract excerpt
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic, progressive, fibrosing interstitial pneumonia of unknown etiology. The role of genetic risk factors has been the focus of numerous studies probing for associations of genetic variants with IPF. We aimed to determine whether single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of four candidate genes are associated with IPF susceptibility and survival in a Portuguese population....
