Variants of the ABCA3 gene might contribute to susceptibility to interstitial lung diseases in the Chinese population

Abstract ATP-binding cassette A3 (ABCA3) is a phospholipid carrier that is mainly expressed in the alveolar epithelium. Biallelic mutations of ABCA3 has been associated with fatal respiratory distress syndrome and interstitial lung disease (ILD) in children. However, whether variations in ABCA3 have...
