Genome-wide analysis of longitudinal lung function and gas transfer in individuals with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
2022-03-30
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background</h4> Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is an incurable disease characterised by progressive scarring of the lungs. This leads to the lungs becoming stiffer, reducing lung capacity, and impeding gas transfer. We aimed to identify genetic variants associated with either declining lung capacity or gas transfer after diagnosis of IPF. <h4>Methods</h4> We performed a genome-wide meta-analysis of longit...
