SLC34A2 Gene mutation of pulmonary alveolar microlithiasis: report of four cases and review of literatures.

Abstract excerpt

Pulmonary alveolar microlithiasis (PAM) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by the deposition of calcium phosphate microliths throughout the lungs. Currently the mutation of SLC34A2 gene was considered responsible for PAM. Here we reported the studies on mutation analysis of the SLC34A2 gene in three familial members and one unrelated subject of PAM by DNA direct sequencing. Meanwhile, we also...
