Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- To determine miR200 levels (fold change) in blood samples. [Baseline (one time).]
MicroRNAs (miRs) are noncoding small RNAs, which regulate numerous physiological and pathological processes. miR200 levels will be measured in blood samples collected from control subjects, non-IPF ILD and IPF patients. These samples will be used for identifying biomarkers for IPF.
