Figure 1. The Genetic Basis of Familial and Sporadic Idiopathic Interstitial Pneumonia is Similar.

Figure 1

Data from Fingerlin et al. Nature Genetics 2013 depicted above illustrates that the genetic loci significantly associated with fibrotic IIP conferred the same increased risk of disease in both familial IIP and sporadic IIP cases [17**]. These data suggest that from the perspective of genetic risk, these diseases appear equivalent.
