The other five genes have not been associated with IPF: the Alcohol dehydrogenase 1B (ADH1B), Protocadherin 18 (PCDH18), Homeobox A5 (HOXA5), Solute carrier family 14-member 1 (SLC14A1), and Ubiquitin specific peptidase 18 (USP18) (Table 3). Here, SLC14A1 is linked to idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.
