Abstract: Two genome-wide association studies and one sequencing study have coincidently reported significant associations of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the desmoplakin (DSP) gene with the risk of pulmonary fibrosis (mainly idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis). However, these… read more here.
