Shared genetic etiology between idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and COVID-19 severity

2020-12-16

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background: </h4> Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a complex lung disease, characterized by progressive lung scarring. Severe COVID-19 is associated with substantial pneumonitis and has a number of shared major risk factors with IPF. This study aimed to determine the genetic correlation between IPF and severe COVID-19 and assess a potential causal role of genetically increased risk of IPF on COVID-19 sev...
