Mutations in genes encoding surfactant protein B (SP-B), ATP-binding cassette transporter A3 (ABCA3) and surfactant protein C (SP-C) can result in neonatal and pediatric lung disease. We retrospectively reviewed 391 molecular analyses of genes encoding SP-B (SFTPB), SP-C (SFTPC) and ABCA3 (ABCA3) pe...
