Abstract

We performed a genome-wide association study of non-Hispanic, white individuals with fibrotic idiopathic interstitial pneumonias (IIPs; n = 1,616) and controls (n = 4,683), with follow-up replication analyses in 876 cases and 1,890 controls. We confirmed association with TERT at 5p15, MUC5B at 11p15 and the 3q26 region near TERC, and we identified seven newly associated loci (Pmeta = 2.4 × 10(-8) to 1.1 × 10(-19)), including FAM13A (4q22), DSP (6p24), OBFC1 (10q24), ATP11A (13q34), DPP9 (19p13) and chromosomal regions 7q22 and 15q14-15. Our results suggest that genes involved in host defense, cell-cell adhesion and DNA repair contribute to risk of fibrotic IIPs.

  • The most well-studied genetic risk factors for IPF include genes associated with epithelial function (MUC5B, SFTPC), telomere homeostasis (TERT, TERC), immune system (TOLLIP, DPP9), cell-cell adhesion (DSP), and the RhoA pathway (AKAP13).

    “The most well studied genetic risk factors include genes associated with epithelial function, such as MUC5B (mucin 5B) and SFTPC (surfactant protein C), genes responsible for maintaining telomere homeostasis, such as TERT (telomerase reverse transcriptase) and TERC (telomerase RNA component), genes associated with the immune system, e.g. TOLLIP (toll-interacting protein) or the inflammasome e.g. D”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
