Genetic insights into idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis: a multi-omics approach to identify potential therapeutic targets

We identified six key genes-ANO9, BRCA1, CCDC200, EZH1, FAM13A, and SFR1-as potential drug targets for IPF. Molecular docking revealed strong drug affinities, while PheW-MR analysis highlighted therapeutic potential and associated risks. These findings offer new insights for IPF treatment and further investigation of potential side effects.
