A method for determining pulmonary fibrosis subtype and/or prognosis in a subject having pulmonary fibrosis comprising: a. determining an expression profile by measuring the gene expression levels of a plurality of genes selected from genes listed in Table 1, 2, 3, 4 7, 8, 9, and/or 10, in a sample from the subject; and b. classifying the subject as having a good prognosis or a poor prognosis based on the expression profile; wherein a good prognosis predicts decreased risk of post lung transplant primary graft dysfunction, and wherein a poor prognosis predicts an increased risk of post lung transplant primary graft dysfunction. |
