SFTPB
MIM.178640
Pathology
SFTPB mutations in
- neonatal SP-B deficiency (early-onset pulmonary alveolar proteinosis)
- congenital pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (MIM.265120)
- association of congenital pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (MIM.265120) and misalignment of lung vessels (#10378403#)
- unexplained respiratory distress (URD)
See also
SP-B deficiency, complete or incomplete
pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP)
- typical storage of PAS-positive material within the alveoli with foamy macrophages and variable interstitial reaction
