Description : Respiratory distress syndrome in the newborn is the main cause of mortality and morbidity in premature infants. RDS is characterized by deficient gas exchange that is caused by diffuse atelectasis and high-permeability lung edema that results in fibrin-rich alveolar deposits called 'hyaline membranes.' Developmental deficiency of lung surfactant is the main cause of RDS in premature infants (Ramet et al., 2000). The risk of bronchopulmonary dysplasia increases with the severity of RDS (Clark and Clark, 2005).;

Inheritance : Isolated cases; Multifactorial;
