Proposed schema for the relationship between the MUC5B promoter polymorphism, interstitial features and ARD events. Note that we hypothesise that those individuals with interstitial features are those with the greatest evidence of increased MUC5B expression and therefore those most likely to have the normalised MUC5B/MUC5AC ratio. ARD, acute respiratory disease.
