Abstract:
BACKGROUND:The study of genetic polymorphisms of surfactant-lipids related genes can help to understand individual variability in the susceptibility to development of pulmonary pathologies. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the association of polymorphisms of surfactant-lipids related genes (LPCAT1, CHPT1 and PCYT1B) with the risk/severity of respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) in preterm neonates among the Chinese Han population in Southern China. METHODS:Four hundred and forty-six preterm neonates were enrolled in a case-control study. Six polymorphisms of 3 genes were analyzed by PCR amplification of genomic DNA and genotyping was performed using an improved multiplex ligation detection reaction (iMLDR) technique based on LDR. RESULTS:The GG genotype and G allele of LPCAT1-rs9728 were found less frequently in the RDS group than in the controls (11.5% vs. 22.0% and 38.3% vs. 48.2%, respectively) (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION:This report is the first study to evaluate a direct genetic association between polymorphisms of LPCAT1 and RDS development in Chinese Han preterm infants. Our study raises the possibility that a genetic variation of LPCAT1 could be implicated in the pathophysiology of RDS in preterm neonates. GG genotype and G allele of rs9728 are protective factors for the development of RDS in preterm infants.

Patients usually suffer from resistance to radiation therapy, so targeted drug treatment may be a new possibility for glioblastoma therapy. Survivin is also overexpressed in glioblastoma.
