Rare gene mutation may raise emphysema risk, small study finds
NCT ID NCT05550844
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 8 people with a FLNA gene mutation to see how many also had emphysema, a lung condition that damages air sacs. Participants had a chest scan, breathing tests, and a checkup with a lung doctor. The goal was to confirm if this rare genetic change is linked to unexplained emphysema.
