Genome-wide association study of susceptibility to idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis

2019-05-14

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Rationale</h4> Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a complex lung disease characterised by scarring of the lung that is believed to result from an atypical response to injury of the epithelium. The mechanisms by which this arises are poorly understood and it is likely that multiple pathways are involved. The strongest genetic association with IPF is a variant in the promoter of MUC5B where each copy of th...
