Genetic variants of small airways and interstitial pulmonary disease in children
Abstract Genetic variants of small airways and interstitial pulmonary disease have not been comprehensively studied. This cluster of respiratory disorders usually manifests from early infancy (‘lung disease in utero’). In this study, 24 variants linked to these entities are described. The variants i...

Abstract Genetic variants of small airways and interstitial pulmonary disease have not been comprehensively studied.
