PY - 2017 DA - 2017/10/20 TI - Unsupervised gene expression analyses identify IPF-severity correlated signatures, associated genes and biomarkers JO - BMC Pulmonary Medicine SP - 133 VL - 17 IS - 1 AB - Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) is a fatal fibrotic lung disease occurring predominantly in middle-aged and older adults. The traditional diagnostic classification of IPF is based on clinical, radiological, and histopathological features. However, the considerable heterogeneity in IPF presentation suggests that differences in gene expression profiles can help to characterize and distinguish disease severity.
