Abstract excerpt
The prevalence of the common mutations in the surfactant protein-B (121ins2), surfactant protein-C (I73T), and ATP-binding cassette member A3 (E292V) genes in population-based or case-control cohorts of newborn respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) is unknown. We determined the frequencies of these mutations in ethnically diverse population and disease-based cohorts using restriction enzyme analysis (121ins2 and...
