Abstract excerpt
Since Familial Pulmonary Fibrosis (FPF) manifests in older adults and telomere attrition is common in FPF and sporadic Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF), we postulated that accelerated aging, as determined by epigenetic clock (DNA methylation) measurements, could occur in FPF. We measured DNAge from blood of patients with FPF and a group of first-degree relatives of FPF patients without disease (termed “at-risk”...
