Abstract excerpt
Genetic variants in intron 4 of the surfactant protein B gene SFTPB have been associated with pulmonary morbidity in newborn infants and adults. Genetic variant discovery in intron 4 requires high fidelity polymerase amplification due to a variable number of intermotif dinucleotide repeats and reliable characterization of alleles genetically distinct due to insertion, deletion, or both of 11 conserved sequence...
