Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome (HPS) is an autosomal recessive disorder that is
associated with oculocutaneous albinism, bleeding diatheses, granulomatous
colitis, and highly penetrant pulmonary fibrosis in some subtypes, including
HPS-1, HPS-2, and HPS-4. HPS pulmonary fibrosis shows many of the clinical,
radiologic, and histologic features found in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, but
occurs at a younger age. Despite knowledge of the underlying genetic defects,
there are currently no definitive therapeutic or preventive approaches for HPS
pulmonary fibrosis other than lung transplant.
