Genetic and environmental factors in interstitial lung diseases: current and future perspectives on early diagnosis of high-risk cohorts
3 Aug 2023
Abstract excerpt
Within the wide scope of interstitial lung diseases (ILDs), familial pulmonary fibrosis (FPF) is being increasingly recognized as a specific entity, with earlier onset, faster progression, and suboptimal responses to immunosuppression. FPF is linked to heritable pathogenic variants in telomere-related genes (TRGs), surfactant-related genes (SRGs), telomere shortening (TS), and early cellular senescence. Telomere...
