Genetic determinants of risk in autoimmune pulmonary alveolar proteinosis

Genetic determinants of risk in autoimmune pulmonary alveolar proteinosis

Autoimmune pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (aPAP) is a complex lung disease caused by abnormal surfactant homeostasis. Here, the authors carry out a genome-wide association study of aPAP in a Japanese cohort, finding variants in the MHC and suggesting predisposition to abnormal antibody production.
