MUC1 gene polymorphisms are associated with serum KL-6 levels and pulmonary dysfunction in pulmonary alveolar proteinosis

BACKGROUND: KL-6, a human MUC1 mucin, is a sensitive biomarker for interstitial lung diseases including pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP). A correlation between MUC1 gene single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs4072037 genotype and serum KL-6 levels has been reported. This study was aimed at inves...
