Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis is a scarring lung disease that presents in older adults with shortness of breath and cough. Mutations in surfactant protein C (SFTPC), surfactant protein A (SFTPA), telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT), and telomerase RNA component (TERC) have been identified in familial cases of pulmonary fibrosis. Recently, promoter variant of MUC5B was confirmed as an idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis risk variant.
