Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive and debilitating respiratory disease with limited therapeutic options. We carried out genome-wide association (GWAS), post-GWAS and rare variant analyses utilising the whole genome sequencing data (WGS) from the 100,000 Genomes Project (100kGP) of a cohort of IPF participants (n=586) to identify novel associations and potential drug targets. Meta-analysis combining 100kGP and published GWASs of IPF (total 11,746 cases and 1,416,493 controls) i...
