Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is associated with systemic inflammation. Surfactant proteins A and D (SP-A and SP-D) play an immunomodulatory role. We previously reported the impact of SP-A on retinal angiogenesis. This study investigates SP-A and SP-D single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) with risk of ROP. METHODS: Subjects were infants with gestational age (GA) of <32 weeks and/or birth weight...
