dbSNP: rs35705950
rs35705950
0.050 GeneticVariation BEFREE We have previously found that 1) a common gain-of-function promoter variant in MUC5B rs35705950 is the strongest risk factor (genetic and otherwise), accounting for 30-35% of the risk of developing IPF, a disease that was previously considered idiopathic; 2) the MUC5B promoter variant can potentially be used to identify individuals with preclinical pulmonary fibrosis and is predictive of radiologic progression of preclinical pulmonary fibrosis; and 3) MUC5B may be involved in the pathogenesis of pulmonary fibrosis with MUC5B message and protein expressed in bronchiolo-alveolar epithelia of IPF and the characteristic IPF honeycomb cysts. 27630174

dbSNP: rs141425941
rs141425941
0.010 GeneticVariation BEFREE We identified two pulmonary fibrosis families that share two non-synonymous substitutions in the catalytic domain of the telomerase reverse transcriptase gene hTERT: V791I and V867M. 21483807

dbSNP: rs1799895
rs1799895
0.010 GeneticVariation BEFREE We used R213G mice expressing a naturally occurring single-nucleotide polymorphism, rs1799895, within the heparin-binding domain of SOD3, which results in an amino acid substitution at position 213 to test the hypothesis that the redistribution of SOD3 into the extracellular fluids would impart protection against bleomycin-induced lung fibrosis and secondary pulmonary hypertension (PH). 27805412
