Background
Although studies have identified hundreds of genetic variants associated with asthma risk, a large fraction of heritability remains unexplained, especially in Chinese individuals.
Methods
To identify genetic risk factors for asthma in a Han Chinese population, 211 asthma‐related genes were first selected based on database searches. The genes were then sequenced for subjects in a Discovery...
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a genetic heterogeneous disease with high mortality and poor prognosis. However, a large fraction of genetic cause remains unexplained, especially in sporadic IPF (∼80% IPF). By systemically reviewing related literature and potential pathogenic pathways, 92 potentially IPF‐related genes were selected and sequenced in genomic DNAs from 253 sporadic IPF patients...
