Disease ID | Source | Name | Description |
610913 | OMIM | Pulmonary surfactant metabolism dysfunction 2 (SMDP2) | A rare disease associated with progressive respiratory insufficiency and lung disease with a variable clinical course, due to impaired surfactant homeostasis. It is characterized by alveolar filling with floccular material that stains positive using the periodic acid-Schiff method and is derived from surfactant phospholipids and protein components. Excessive lipoproteins accumulation in the alveoli results in severe respiratory distress. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. |
267450 | OMIM | Respiratory distress syndrome in premature infants (RDS) | A lung disease affecting usually premature newborn infants. It is characterized by deficient gas exchange, diffuse atelectasis, high-permeability lung edema and fibrin-rich alveolar deposits called 'hyaline membranes'. Disease susceptibility may be associated with variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. |
