Abstract excerpt
Interactive genetic and environmental factors may influence the differentiation of surfactant and the risk of respiratory distress syndrome (RDS). DNA samples from 441 premature singleton infants and 480 twin or multiple infants were genotyped for surfactant-specific protein (SP)-A1, SP-A2, and SP-B exon 4 polymorphisms and intron 4 size variants in a homogeneous white population. Distributions of the SP-A and...
