Genetic variation in surfactant protein-A2 alters responses to ozone.
<h4>Background</h4>Increased exposure to Ozone (O3) is associated with adverse health effects in individuals afflicted with respiratory diseases. Surfactant protein-A (SP-A), encoded by SP-A1 and SP-A2, is the largest protein component in pulmonary surfactant and is functionally impaired...
