BPF Genetics of ILD Study

British Pigeon Fanciers Genetics of Interstitial Lung Disease Study

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 27 May 2026

Brief summary (registry, in English)

The investigators aim to examine the genetic determinants of interstitial lung disease in a cohort of subjects with regular exposure to pigeons, a known cause of one form of interstitial lung disease known as hypersensitivity pneumonitis. In addition we will examine immunological causes for hypersensitivity pneumonitis in this group. We anticipate our work will provide insights of use to clinicians and patients with hypersensitivity pneumonitis and other interstitial lung diseases.
