Host genetics and the respiratory microbiome in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis

2015-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Background: Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive fibrotic lung disease of unknown cause that leads to respiratory failure and death within five years of diagnosis. It is thought to arise in genetically susceptible individuals as a consequence of an aberrant wound-healing response following repetitive alveolar injury.
