Abstract excerpt
In only around 40% of families with pulmonary fibrosis (PF) a suspected genetic cause can be found. Genetic overlap analysis of Whole Exome Sequencing (WES) data may be a powerful tool to discover new shared variants in novel genes for PF. As a proof of principle, we first selected unrelated PF patients for whom a genetic variant was detected (n = 125) in established PF genes and searched for overlapping...
