RGD ID: 2898
Species: Rattus norvegicus
RGD Object: Gene
Symbol: Il4
Name: interleukin 4
Acc ID: DOID:3770
Term: pulmonary fibrosis
Definition: An interstitial lung disease that is characterized by destruction, scarring, and thickening of the interstitial lung tissues and progressive pulmonary function loss in a restrictive pattern, has_symptom progressive shortness of breath, fatigue, and chronic cough, possibly has_material_basis_in exposure to certain chemicals, autoimmune conditions, and radiation. It can be caused by inhaling hazardous chemicals, certain diseases, medication and genetics or unknown causes. (DO)
