Using genetic information to define idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis in UK Biobank
2022-04-01
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Introduction</h4> Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a rare lung disease characterised by progressive scarring in the alveoli. IPF can be defined in population studies using electronic healthcare records (EHR) but recent genetic studies of IPF using EHR have shown an attenuation of effect size for known genetic risk factors when compared to clinically-derived datasets, suggesting misclassification of cases...
