1. A method for determining whether a human subject has or is at risk of developing interstitial lung disease comprising: detecting in a biological sample from the subject, at least one of:
a) presence of a genetic variant selected from the group consisting of: rs2736100, rs2076295, rs3778337, rs4727443, rs868903, rs7934606, rs6421972, rs7480563, rs7942850, rs4077759, rs2334659, rs7122936, rs2034650, rs1992272, rs1981997, rs17563986, rs8070723, rs12610495, rs2109069, rs1379326, rs1881984, rs10936599, rs1997392, rs6793295, rs2609255, rs2853676, rs10484326, rs10748858, rs2067832, rs11191865, rs2301160, rs3829223, rs2857476, rs1278769, rs1007177, rs10518693, rs393152, rs12373139, rs17690703, rs2532274, rs2532269, rs2668692, rs169201, rs199533, and rs415430; b) level of gene expression of a marker gene or plurality of marker genes selected from the group consisting of: a marker gene having at least 95% sequence identity with a sequence selected from the group consisting of TERT, DSP, MUC2, DISP2, MAPT, DPP9, CSMD1, MYNN, LRRC34, FAM13A, OBFC1, TOLLIP, MUC5B, ATP11A, IVD, CRHR1, IMP5, LOC100128977, KIAA1267, NSF, WNT3, C17orf69, or homologs or variants thereof; c) polypeptides encoded by the marker genes of b); d) fragments of polypeptides of c); and e) a polynucleotide which is fully complementary to at least a portion of a marker gene of b); wherein the presence of the at least one genetic variant, polypeptide, fragment, and/or complementary polynucleotide, and/or increased or reduced gene expression of the marker gene indicates that the subject has or is at risk of developing interstitial lung disease. |
