Towards personalized therapies for genetic disorders of surfactant dysfunction (2023) Maureen Peers de Nieuwburgh

Description

Genetic disorders of surfactant dysfunction are a rare cause of chronic, progressive or refractory respiratory failure in term and preterm infants. This review explores genetic mechanisms underpinning surfactant dysfunction, highlighting specific surfactant-associated genes including SFTPB, SFTPC, ABCA3, and NKX2.1.
