Association analysis of the surfactant protein-C gene to childhood asthma.

Conclusion: In Tunisia, this work constitutes the first report interested in the SFTPC gene and highlights the genetic variability of the SFTPC gene in asthma. Therefore, the case-controls analysis may be useful in the study of surfactant proteins dysfunction in chronic respiratory disease at an early age. PMID: 32962475 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
