Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) is a severe pulmonary disease predominantly affects preterm newborns. Polymorphisms of surfactant-protein genes have been mostly evaluated as the candidate contributors in genetics of RDS. However the results are divers in different studies. We aimed at investigating the association of surfactant protein B (SPB) gene 9306 A/G polymorphism (rs7316) with RDS...
