The Haplotype TGGAG in the ABCA3 Gene Increases the Risk of Respiratory Distress Syndrome in Preterm Infants in Southern China

The Haplotype TGGAG in the ABCA3 Gene Increases the Risk of Respiratory Distress Syndrome in Preterm Infants in Southern China

Rare mutations in the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter A3 (ABCA3) gene are associated with neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (RDS). The contribution of common single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) to preterm RDS differs between ethnicities and remains unclear in Chinese infants. This stu...
