Shortened Telomere Length as a Risk Factor for Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis: A Meta-Analysis
This study shows significant shorter telomere lengths in IPF patients compared to healthy controls that suggest telomere as a risk factor for IPF occurrence. These findings highlight the value of telomere assessment not only for early detection but also as a potential predictive biomarker for clinical outcomes.
