Telomere Genetics Key to Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis Risk
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive lung disease characterised by scarring of lung tissue, causing breathlessness, chronic cough, and reduced life expectancy. Recent genetic research highlights that both rare and common variants, particularly those affecting telomere length, significantly influence IPF risk. Genetic Insights into IPF Researchers analysed whole-genome sequencing…
