摘要: Respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) among preterm infants is typically due to a quantitative deficiency of pulmonary surfactant. Aside from the degree prematurity, diverse environmental and genetic factors can affect development RDS. The variance risk RDS in various races/ethnicities or monozygotic/dizygotic twins has suggested influences on this disorder. So far, several specific mutations genes encoding surfactant-associated molecules have confirmed this. Specific variants contributing regulation development, its structure function, inflammatory response could be candidate for This review summarizes background that suggests predisposition RDS, identified mutations, polymorphisms surfactant proteins associated with
