Shared genetic risk factors and their implications for treatment of IPF and systemic hypertension

2023-06-05

Abstract excerpt

More than 50% of individuals with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) have co-morbid hypertension. High blood pressure can lead to organ fibrosis or can be a consequence of artery stiffening due to fibrosis. Studies have implicated common processes, such as TGF-β signalling, in both traits’ regulation. Our goal is to identify shared genetic risk factors for IPF and hypertension. We analysed the genome-wide genetic...
