Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Rare mutations in the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter A3 (ABCA3) gene are associated with neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (RDS). The contribution of common single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) to preterm RDS differs between ethnicities and remains unclear in Chinese infants. This study evaluated whether common SNPs and consequent haplotypes increase susceptibility to RDS in a...
