Surfactant Protein A and B Gene Polymorphisms and Risk of Respiratory Distress Syndrome in Late-Preterm Neonates.
2016
Background and Objectives
Newborns delivered late-preterm (between 340/7 and 366/7 weeks of gestation) are at increased risk of respiratory distress syndrome (RDS). Polymorphisms within the surfactant protein (SP) A and B gene have been shown to predispose to RDS in preterm neonates. The aim of this study was to investigate whether specific SP-A and/or SP-B genetic variants are also associated with RDS in infants born late-preterm.
