The Genetics of Pulmonary Fibrosis Study
This study is looking for people aged 18 or older who have a family member diagnosed with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF), a serious lung disease. The goal is to understand how genes and environmental factors might lead to pulmonary fibrosis. You would participate by having a blood draw and completing a questionnaire. The researchers hope to identify specific genetic areas that are linked to the development of this condition. The study is currently enrolling up to 1000 participants, but its current status is unclear.
- Study design
- This is an observational study, meaning researchers will observe and collect information without giving any specific treatments. It plans to enroll up to 1000 participants.
- What's involved
- You would have a blood draw and complete a questionnaire.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- The primary goal is measured at baseline, meaning at the start of your participation.

What this trial measures
- Identify and explore genetic loci and related environmental exposures in individuals with familial pulmonary fibrosis and their relatives.Baseline
The investigators aim is to identify and explore genetic loci that affect development of pulmonary fibrosis and also explore related environmental exposures. Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is one of the interstitial lung diseases under the broader umbrella of idiopathic interstitial pneumonias (IIP). The investigators hypothesize that inherited genetic factors are associated with pulmonary fibrosis.
