BACKGROUND: Pulmonary fibrosis (PF) is a rare lung disease with diverse pathogenesis and biological mechanisms. Mosaic loss of chromosome Y (mLOY) has been reported to be associated with increased risk of fibrotic diseases. However, the exact role of mLOY in the development of PF remains to be elucidated. METHODS: Copy number on chromosome Y was used to estimate mLOY comparing patients in PROFILE and gnomAD...
