The interstitial lung diseases (ILDs), or diffuse parenchymal lung diseases, are a heterogeneous collection of over 100 different pulmonary disorders that affect the tissue and spaces surrounding the alveoli. For many of the ILDs, this delicate tissue is filled with inflammatory cells, proliferating fibroblasts, collagen, fibronectin, laminin and other macromolecules, which cause irreversible architectural distortion and impaired gas exchange. Patients affected by ILD usually present with shortness of breath or cough; for many, there is evidence of pulmonary restriction, decreased diffusion capacity and radiographic appearance of alveolar and/or reticulonodular infiltrates. Here we review the inherited ILDs, with a focus on the diseases that may be seen by pulmonologists caring for adult patients. We will conclude the review by briefly discussing the utility of genetic testing in this population.Inherited ILDs are those that result from the transmission of genetic mutations from a parent or ancestor. We have subdivided the inherited ILDs into two major categories: systemic disorders affecting multiple organs and disorders that primarily affect the lung. For both of these groups, thorough past medical and family histories provide essential clues about the exact nature of the ILD. First, the pattern of inheritance provides important information; for example, the inborn errors of metabolism that are associated with an ILD demonstrate an autosomal recessive pattern of inheritance. Second, some diseases show a predisposition for affecting a certain gender; for example, lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) occurs exclusively in women. The age of onset of disease is yet another important hint. Younger and more severely affected individuals seen in later generations may reflect genetic anticipation, which can be seen in autosomal dominant kindreds with inherited telomerase mutations and progressively shortened telomere lengths. Finally, the spectrum of disease in the patient and related family members provides important clues to the etiology of ILD. If
