Scientists hunt for genetic clues behind common lung diseases

NCT ID NCT00001532

Summary

This study aims to understand how genes contribute to the development of various lung diseases, including cystic fibrosis, asthma, and pulmonary fibrosis. Researchers will collect genetic information from up to 3,500 participants, including people with these conditions and healthy volunteers, to identify specific genes involved. An optional part of the study will also test if a lower-radiation CT scan can be as effective as a standard scan for monitoring lung disease.
