Genetic research is advancing the identification of genes linked to interstitial lung diseases. This review covers inherited conditions like familial idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and genetic links in sporadic forms.

Area of Science:

  • Pulmonary Medicine
  • Genetics
  • Human Disease

Background:

  • Interstitial lung diseases (ILDs) encompass a group of disorders characterized by progressive lung scarring.
  • Genetic factors are increasingly recognized as significant contributors to ILD development.
  • Understanding the genetic basis of ILDs is crucial for diagnosis and therapeutic strategies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review recent advances in identifying genes and genetic polymorphisms associated with human interstitial lung diseases.
  • To focus on inherited Mendelian diseases with pulmonary fibrosis phenotypes and the genetics of familial idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF).
  • To summarize association studies on the genetics of sporadic IPF.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of recent advances in genetic identification for ILDs.
