Surfactant protein B polymorphism and respiratory distress syndrome in premature twins.

Human genetics - 1 Jan 2003

Marttila Riitta, Haataja Ritva, Rämet Mika, Löfgren Johan, Hallman Mikko

Abstract excerpt

Recent evidence suggests that the susceptibility to respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) is partly explained by genetic variation in the surfactant proteins (SP) SP-A and SP-B. The present study was designed to evaluate the concordance difference method and candidate gene analysis, in parallel, for the investigation of genetic susceptibility to RDS. We studied 100 same-sex twin pairs with established RDS in at...
