Telomere length across different UIP fibrotic-Interstitial Lung Diseases: a prospective Greek case-control study

Telomere length across different UIP fibrotic-Interstitial Lung Diseases: a prospective Greek case-control study

Introduction: Short telomeres are recognized as risk factor for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). We aimed to assess the role of telomere length (TL) in fibrotic-Interstitial Lung Diseases (f-ILDs) associated with a usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP) pattern as well as in IPF acute exacerbation (...
