0.500 SusceptibilityMutation disease ORPHANET Among the infants born before 32 weeks of gestation and having the SP-B genotype Thr/Thr, the SP-A1 allele 6A(2) was over-represented in RDS group compared with controls (P = 0.001, OR = 4.7, CI 1.8-12.2). 11063734 2000
Respiratory Distress Syndrome, Newborn
0.500 GeneticVariation disease BEFREE Instead, our data show that the previously identified association between SP-A alleles and RDS was dependent on the SP-B Ile131Thr genotype. 11063734 2000
Respiratory Distress Syndrome, Newborn
0.500 GeneticVariation disease BEFREE The aim of this prospective study was to determine whether polymorphisms within intron 4 of the SP-B gene are related to the incidence, severity and complications of RDS in Caucasian newborns. 12424586 2002
Respiratory Distress Syndrome, Newborn
0.500 GeneticVariation disease BEFREE Allelic variations of the SP-A and SP-B genes have been shown to be important genetic determinants in individual susceptibility to RDS, which is a good general model for a multifactorial pulmonary disease resulting from complex interactions between several environmental and genetic factors. 12452477 2002
Respiratory Distress Syndrome, Newborn
0.500 GeneticVariation disease BEFREE However, the SP-B Ile131Thr polymorphism was associated with RDS. 12483294 2003
Respiratory Distress Syndrome, Newborn
0.500 GeneticVariation disease BEFREE Both SP-A and SP-B associate with susceptibility to RDS. 12537318 2002
Respiratory Distress Syndrome, Newborn
0.500 GeneticVariation disease BEFREE Specific alleles of the SP-A and SP-B genes associate interactively with susceptibility to respiratory distress syndrome. 12667827 2003
Respiratory Distress Syndrome, Newborn
0.500 GeneticVariation disease BEFREE The SP-A 6A2 allele in the SP-B Thr131 background predisposed the smallest singleton infants to RDS, whereas near-term multiples were protected from RDS. 12947025 2003
Respiratory Distress Syndrome, Newborn
0.500 GeneticVariation disease BEFREE No other SP polymorphisms associated with BPD, and the SP-B intron 4 variation did not associate with RDS. 15102713 2004
Respiratory Distress Syndrome, Newborn
0.500 Biomarker disease BEFREE Surfaxin (lucinactant), a peptide-based surfactant consisting of dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) plus KL(4) (sinapultide) (a synthetic peptide modeled after human surfactant protein-B), is effective in treating respiratory distress syndrome in preterm infants. 15633204 2005
