Pulmonary fibrosis is a complex trait disease of cells and collagen deposition in the lung parenchyma with unknown genes influencing the susceptibility to the disease. Genetic study of pulmonary fibrosis could allow the identification of new susceptibility genes, which could lead to a better understanding of the disease. Treatments with a chemotherapeutic agent called bleomycin or with thoracic irradiation are known to induce pulmonary fibrosis in human and mice. We made use of the known susceptibility to develop bleomycin and radiation-induced pulmonary fibrosis of C57Bl/6J mice and of the known resistance of A/J and C3H/HeJ mice to identify susceptibility genes by evaluating several mouse crosses. In this thesis, we identified putative qu...
