Genetic Polymorphisms in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis

Who can join

Ages 18 and older · All sexes

Inclusion Criteria:

* 18 years of age or older
* Diagnosis of pulmonary fibrosis confirmed by physical examination, pulmonary function testing, chest X-ray, and computed tomography (CT) scans.

About the study

The purposes of this study are:

* to determine if there are specific genetic traits that might explain why patients have developed pulmonary fibrosis; * to determine if specific genetic traits account for differing patterns of inflammation and scar tissue that has formed in the patient's lungs.
