Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Interactions among single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of surfactant protein (SP) are associated with acute respiratory failure (ARF) and its short-term outcome, pulmonary dysfunction at discharge (PDAD) in children. However, genetic association studies using individual SNPs have not been conducted before. We hypothesize that SP genetic variants are associated with pediatric ARF and its short-term...
