Abstract
Objective: About 15 million babies are born premature and many suffer from respiratory distress syndrome (RDS). RDS is caused by lings that are too immature to produce surfactant. Lysophosphatidylcholine Acyltransferase 1 (LPCAT1) is crucial for surfactant production. We seek to determine if maternal plasma levels of LPCAT1 can be used as a non-invasive marker of lung maturity.
