Abstract

Introduction: Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic, progressive disorder, in which genetic and environmental factors are involved in disease onset. Although, by definition, the disease is considered idiopathic in nature, evidence-based studies have indicated familial cases of pulmonary fibrosis, in which genetic factors contribute to IPF pathogenesis.

Methods: Both common as well as rare genetic variants are associated with sporadic as well as familial forms of IPF. Although clinical inferences of the genetic association have still not been explored properly, observation-based studies have found a genotypic influence on disease development and outcome.

Results: Based on genetic studies, individuals with a risk of IPF can be easily identified and can be classified more precisely. Identification of genetic variants also helps to develop more effective therapeutic approaches.

Conclusion: Further comprehensive research is needed to get a blueprint of IPF pathogenesis. The rapidly evolving field of genetic engineering and molecular biology, along with the bioinformatics approach, will possibly explore a new horizon very soon to achieve this goal.
