Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To replicate genetic associations with respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) and bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) in genes related to surfactant deficiency, inflammation and infection, and the renin-angiotensin system. STUDY DESIGN: We examined eight candidate genes for associations with RDS and BPD in 433 preterm birth (PTB-<37 weeks) infants (251 with RDS and 134 with BPD). Both case-control and...
