The Canine Pulmonary Fibrosis – CVU ULg website covers:
A description of IPF, including symptoms, diagnosis, prognosis, treatment and videos is available at: http://www.caninepulmonaryfibrosis.ulg.ac.be/about-ipf/#context
"Clinical studies
Through ongoing collaboration with breeders, dogs’ owners and veterinary partners, we are actively collecting clinical information in IPF dogs. The purpose of this collection of clinical information is to characterize the disease as much as possible in order to improve the diagnosis, the estimation of prognosis and to correctly select animals for genetic and molecular studies.
Molecular studies
Molecular studies are conducted jointly at the Universities of Liège and Helsinki and aim to identify biomarkers of pulmonary fibrosis."
Genetic studies to identify possible genetic mutations responsible for this disease are underway.
