Abstract excerpt
Background: Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive interstitial lung disease in which genetic susceptibility interacts with epithelial, immune, and mesenchymal remodeling. Although the chromosome 11p15.5 locus contains established IPF susceptibility signals near MUC5B and TOLLIP, the broader regulatory architecture of this region remains incompletely resolved. Methods: We integrated IPF genome-wide...
