" /> Surfactant metabolism dysfunction, pulmonary, 2 - CISMeF





Preferred Label : Surfactant metabolism dysfunction, pulmonary, 2;

Symbol : SMDP2;

CISMeF acronym : SMDP2;

Type : Phenotype, molecular basis known;

Alternative titles and symbols : Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis, congenital, 2; Interstitial lung disease due to surfactant protein C deficiency; Desquamative interstitial pneumonitis due to surfactant protein C deficiency;

Description : Surfactant protein C (SPC) deficiency is a rare autosomal dominant disease associated with progressive respiratory insufficiency and lung disease with a variable clinical course. The pathophysiology of the disorder is postulated to involve intracellular accumulation of a structurally defective SPC protein (Thomas et al., 2002). For a general phenotypic description and a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of pulmonary surfactant metabolism dysfunction, see SMDP1 (265120).;

Inheritance : Autosomal dominant;

Molecular basis : Caused by mutation in the surfactant pulmonary-associated protein C gene (SFTPC, 178620.0001);

Prefixed ID : #610913;
