Abstract

Life Sciences & Biomedicine Obstetrics & Gynecology Pediatrics Science & Technology
A full-term infant developed respiratory distress immediately after birth, requiring a prolonged course of extra- corporeal membrane oxygenation, followed by high-frequency ventilation. She was unable to wean off mechanical ventilation, required tracheostomy, and ultimately lung transplantation. A novel mutation in the surfactant C protein gene was identified as the cause of her lung disease. Journal of Perinatology (2010) 30, 151-153; doi: 10.1038/jp.2009.97
