What role for asbestos in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis? Findings from the IPF job exposures study

2021-03-12

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Rationale</h4> Asbestos is posited to cause otherwise ‘idiopathic’ pulmonary fibrosis (IPF); establishing this has important diagnostic and therapeutic implications. <h4>Objectives</h4> To determine the association between occupational asbestos exposure and IPF; to investigate interaction with MUC5B rs35705950 genotype. <h4>Methods</h4> Multi-centre, incident case-control study. Cases (n=494) were men diagnose...
