Scientists hunt for genetic clues in rare lung disease
NCT ID NCT02439528
First seen Jan 04, 2026 · Last updated May 22, 2026 · Updated 20 times
Summary
This study looked at the genetics of a rare lung condition called combined pulmonary fibrosis and emphysema (CPFE) syndrome, which causes both scarring and air sac damage. Researchers compared 250 participants, including patients with CPFE, those with only scarring or only emphysema, and healthy people. They measured telomere length (a marker of aging in cells) and searched for specific gene mutations to better understand what causes this disease.
