Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
To determine miR200 levels (fold change) in blood samples.
Time Frame: 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.
Baseline (one time).
