Plenary Presentation

CF & Friends

Pulmonary fibrosis remains a devastating disease with mortality that is often worse than many cancers. There is increasing recognition of the need for clinical practitioners to understand the important role of genetics in pulmonary fibrosis risk, disease progression and the impact on management. In 4 separate lectures, the presenters will discuss genetic risk factors in interstitial lung abnormalities, familial pulmonary fibrosis, implications for lung transplantation, and therapy. The goal is to provide participants with the skillset to improve the management of pulmonary fibrosis and guide personalized therapeutic choices based on current knowledge of genetic risk factors impacting the disease.

Determine role of genetics in early detection and prognostication in pulmonary fibrosis.

Determine clinical manifestations and comorbidities associated with common genetic abnormalities in pulmonary fibrosis.
