Understanding the Role of Genetics in Pulmonary Fibrosis – New Factsheet

Posted on: Tuesday 2nd June 2026

In partnership with Lung Foundation Australia we are pleased to share a new factsheet which explores the links between genetics and pulmonary fibrosis. 

Around 1 in 5 people diagnosed with pulmonary fibrosis have the familial form, which is when it runs in families. This factsheet explains familial pulmonary fibrosis and the genes which are involved. It also provides information on genetic testing.
