Delighted to share our new study evaluating the association of rare variants in telomere and non-telomere monogenic adult-onset Pulmonary Fibrosis genes and IPF patient survival where we also intersected their effects with #PRS of IPF.
🧬 Rare variants and survival of patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis: analysis of a multicentre, observational cohort study with independent validation

📈 Non-additive effects were seen between qualifying variants and common risk variants in #IPF survival
