Genome-wide association study of Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis susceptibility using clinically-curated European-ancestry datasets

This study identifies three novel genetic signals associated with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis using GWAS and clinically-curated datasets, highlighting potential drug targets like MUC1 and NTN4.

Polygenic risk scores enhance the identification of carriers of monogenic forms of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis

This study shows that polygenic risk scores improve the identification of IPF patients carrying rare variants associated with monogenic pulmonary fibrosis.

Contribution of dominant and recessive model effects to the genetic architecture of Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis

This study performs GWAS of IPF using dominant and recessive models, identifying five new genome-wide significant signals and genes, including PMF1 and EPN3, and observing increased PMF1 expression in IPF patients.

Rare variants and survival of patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis

This study investigates the impact of rare variants and polygenic risk scores on survival in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis patients, finding that rare variants are associated with worse outcomes.

Genome-wide SNP-sex interaction analysis of susceptibility to idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis

This study identifies three genetic variants with sex-specific effects on IPF susceptibility but finds no significant difference in predictive accuracy of polygenic risk scores between males and females.

Association study of human leukocyte antigen (HLA) variants and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis

This study investigates the association between HLA genetic variants and IPF risk using a meta-analysis of seven case-control studies, finding no consistent HLA region associations.

Peripheral Blood Single-Cell Sequencing Uncovers Common and Specific Immune Aberrations in Fibrotic Lung Diseases

This study uses single-cell RNA sequencing to identify common and distinct immune aberrations in IPF and FHP, revealing shared monocyte features and disease-specific lymphocyte and receptor repertoires.

PCSK6 and Survival in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis

The paper identifies four novel genetic variants associated with IPF survival, including a PCSK6 variant, and suggests PCSK6 as a prognostic biomarker and therapeutic target.

Genome-wide association study of susceptibility to idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis

This study identifies three new genetic loci associated with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and confirms 11 previously reported ones, highlighting mTOR signaling and mitotic spindle-assembly genes in disease susceptibility.
