Variable numbers of composite repetitive motifs are found in different individuals within intron 4 of the surfactant protein B (SP-B) gene (Biochem J. 1995;305:583). This study tests the hypothesis that the distribution of SP-B alleles differs among racial/ethnic groups. A total of 412 SP-B alleles were analyzed: 206 from Caucasian, 68 from African-American, and 138 from Nigerian individuals. Twelve groups of...
