While much of the pathogenesis of IPF still remains unclear, it is now understood that genetic variation accounts for at least one-third of the risk of developing the disease. The single-most validated and most significant risk factor, genetic or otherwise, is a gain-of-function promoter variant in the MUC5B gene. While the functional impact of these IPF risk variants at the cellular and tissue levels are areas of active investigation, there is a growing body of evidence that these genetic variants may influence disease pathogenesis through modulation of innate immune processes.Keywords: pulmonary fibrosis, interstitial lung disease, genetics, MUC5B, host defense, innate immunityMichalski JESchwartz DADove Medical Pressarticlepulmonary fibrosisinterstitial lung diseasegeneticsmuc5bhost defenseinnate immunityPathologyRB1-214Therapeutics.
