“…Similarly, as Figure 3 schematically illustrates, over 200 distinct ABCA3 mutations have been identified and are recognized as the most prevalent group of mutations among genes associated with surfactant related lung disorders (Shulenin et al, 2004; Ota et al, 2016; Peca et al, 2015; Bullard et al, 2005; Garmany et al, 2006; Doan et al, 2008; Flamein et al, 2012; Wambach et al, 2014; Goncalves et al, 2014). Various types of coding and non-coding variants in the ABCA3 gene have been described including missense, nonsense, frameshift, insertion, deletion, and splice site mutations.…”
