Genetic Variants of MUC5AC Gene May Be a Risk Factor for IPF, Study Suggests
Genetic variants of the MUC5AC gene may contribute to the development of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), a study suggests. The study, “Novel idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis susceptibility variants revealed by deep sequencing,” was published in the journal ERJ Open Research. The existence of a genetic cause underlying…
