Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: This study aims to describe the molecular variability in the SFTPC gene in a childhood chronic respiratory disease, asthma, in the Tunisian population and to identify the implications based on a case-control study of p.Thr138Asn (T138N) and p.Ser186Asn (S186N) variants. METHODS: We used direct sequencing for the genotyping of the SFTPC gene within 101 asthmatic children. The study of T138N and S186N...
