Integrative Analysis of Transcriptome-Wide Association Study and mRNA Expression Profiles Identifies Candidate Genes Associated With Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a type of scarring lung disease characterized by a chronic, progressive, and irreversible decline in lung function. The genetic basis of IPF remains elusive. A transcriptome-wide association study (TWAS) of IPF was performed by FUSION using gene expression weig...
