#20 - Familial pulmonary fibrosis explained

Familial pulmonary fibrosis means that there are several cases of pulmonary fibrosis in the same family (among blood relatives). You can watch the video on my YouTube channel, here: https://youtu.be/3wrvocYf0Ao I discuss this situation, genetic predisposition, telomeres and telomere related genes and what all these mean for families in which several people appear to have similar conditions (such as pulmonary fibrosis). Familial pulmonary fibrosis (FPF) may sometimes be referred to as familial interstitial pneumonia (FIP) or familial interstitial lung disease.
