In this study, we determined the genotype frequencies of polymorphisms of cytokine genes and investigated their association with the risk of respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) in preterm infants. Genetic polymorphisms in the cytokines interleukin (IL)-10, IL-8, and tumor necrosis factor (TNF) alpha, were studied in 342 white Italian newborns (112 without RDS, 66 prematurely born with RDS, and 164 infants born at...
