Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and telomere length are both strongly linked to rare and common genetic variants. Shortened telomere length might itself be causal for IPF. We aimed to evaluate whether rare and common variants compete or cooperate to confer genetic risk of IPF uniformly. METHODS: In this genetic analysis, we used whole-genome sequencing (WGS) data from a discovery case-control...
