A MUC5B polymorphism associated with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis mediates overexpression through decreased CpG methylation and C/EBPβ transcriptional activation
2019-12-19
Abstract excerpt
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis is a progressive and fatal lung disease of unknown aetiology. The strongest genetic risk factor associated with IPF development is a MUC5B promoter polymorphism ( rs35705950 ). However, the mechanism underlying its effects remains unknown. In this study we have focused on the molecular consequences of the polymorphism on the regulation of MUC5B expression. We have identified a combi...
