Abstract excerpt
Completely penetrant mutations in the surfactant protein B gene (SFTPB) and >75% reduction of SFTPB expression disrupt pulmonary surfactant function and cause neonatal respiratory distress syndrome. To inform studies of genetic regulation of SFTPB expression, we created a catalogue of SFTPB varia...
