Gene Linked To Inherited Form Of Fatal Lung Disease Identified

http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/12/081219172127.htm

Researchers have determined that a mutation in a gene known for its role in

defending the lungs against invading pathogens is responsible for some inherited

cases of a lethal lung disease affecting older adults. The same mutation may

also be associated with lung cancer, the researchers said.
