Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To determine haplotype background of common mutations in the genes encoding surfactant proteins B and C (SFTPB and SFTPC) and to assess recombination in SFTPC. STUDY DESIGN: Using comprehensive resequencing of SFTPC and SFTPB, we assessed linkage disequilibrium (LD) (D'), and computationally inferred haplotypes. We computed average recombination rates and Bayes factors (BFs) within SFTPC in a...
