*

ILA is interstitial lung abnormality; analyses using the MUC5B genotype were performed using additive genetic models.

Clinical Data includes age, sex and pack-years of tobacco exposure

ILD is interstitial lung disease

§

Definite Fibrosis is evidence pulmonary parenchymal architectural distortion

ǁ

UIP is usual interstitial pneumonia
