Mota, P.C.; Soares, M.L.; Ferreira, A.C.; F. Santos, Rita; Cavaleiro Rufo, J; Vasconcelos, D.; Carvalho, A.; Guimarães, S.; Vasques-Novo, F.Hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP) is an interstitial lung disease with diverse clinical features that can present a fibrotic phenotype similar to idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) in genetically predisposed individuals. While several single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have been associated with IPF, the genetic factors contributing to fibrotic HP (fHP) remain poorly understood. This study investigated the ...
