Abstract
Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia (BPD) continues to be a major problem despite advances in the management of the sick preterm. Current evidence supports a multifactorial etiology to this disease. Prematurity is the cardinal factor; others include pulmonary baro/volu trauma, hyperoxia, and inflammation. A clearer understanding of genetic susceptibility for BPD has recently emerged. Twin studies have shown that 53% of the variance for BPD is genetic. This article will attempt to review the published literature appraising the relationship between single nucleotide polymorphisms of putative causal genes and susceptibility to BPD. These studies, though small in size, spark interest in further genetic association studies to identify candidate genes that contribute to the diverse pathophysiology of BPD.

Exposure to PM2.5 components is associated with respiratory diseases
Through continuous research on the relationship between risk factors and health, it has been found that air pollution, especially atmospheric particulate matter pollution, has become one of the main sources of global disease burden. From 1990 to 2022, the concentration of atmospheric particulate matter pollution has increased by more than ...read more
