Abstract | The recent European Respiratory Society statement on familial pulmonary fibrosis (FPF) supports the need of genetic testing in the care of patients and their relatives. However, no solution (i.e., a concrete test) was provided to implemented genetic testing in daily practice. Herein, we tabulated and standardized the nomenclature of 128 genetic variants in 20 genes implicated in adult-onset pulmonary fibrosis. The objective was to develop a laboratory developed test (LDT) based on standard Sanger sequencing in order to capture all known FPF-associated variants. Targeted DNA fragments were amplified with harmonized PCR conditions to perform the LDT in a single 96-well plate. The new genetic test was evaluated in 62 sporadic cases of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). As expected in this population, we observed a low yield of disease-causing mutations. More importantly, 100% of targeted variants by the LDT were successfully evaluated. Furthermore, four variants of uncertain significance with |
