Genes affected
SFTPB (HGNC:10801): (surfactant protein B) This gene encodes the pulmonary-associated surfactant protein B (SPB), an amphipathic surfactant protein essential for lung function and homeostasis after birth. Pulmonary surfactant is a surface-active lipoprotein complex composed of 90% lipids and 10% proteins which include plasma proteins and apolipoproteins SPA, SPB, SPC and SPD. The surfactant is secreted by the alveolar cells of the lung and maintains the stability of pulmonary tissue by reducing the surface tension of fluids that coat the lung. The SPB enhances the rate of spreading and increases the stability of surfactant monolayers in vitro. Multiple mutations in this gene have been identified, which cause pulmonary surfactant metabolism dysfunction type 1, also called pulmonary alveolar proteinosis due to surfactant protein B deficiency, and are associated with fatal respiratory distress in the neonatal period. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding the same protein have been identified.[provided by RefSeq, Feb 2010]

SFTPB c.706C>T has been identified in multiple individuals with surfactant protein B (SP-B) deficiency. This SFTPB variant (rs137853202) is rare (<0.1%) in a large population dataset (gnomAD: 11/240328 total alleles; 0.004577%; one homozygote) and has been reported in ClinVar. Three bioinformatic tools queried predict that this substitution would be damaging. The arginine residue at this position is not highly evolutionarily conserved across the species assessed. We consider SFTPB c.706C>T to be pathogenic. -

The p.R248C variant (also known as c.742C>T and p.R236C) is located in coding exon 7 of the SFTPB gene. This alteration results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 742. The arginine at codon 248 is replaced by cysteine, an amino acid with highly dissimilar properties. This mutation was described in an affected infant with the common c.397delCinsGAA mutation (referred to as 121ins2) on the other chromosome. This patient presented with significantly reduced levels of mature surfactant protein B (Ballard PL et al. Pediatrics. 1995;96(6):1046-1052). This amino acid position is not well conserved in available vertebrate species. This variant was previously reported in the SNPDatabase as rs137853202. Based on data from the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project (ESP), the T-allele has an overall frequency of approximately 0.02% (2/12,898), having been observed in 0.05% (2/4,354) of African American alleles, and was not observed in 8,544 of European American alleles studied. This variant was not reported in population-based cohorts in the 1000 Genomes Project. This variant is predicted to be possibly damaging by PolyPhen and deleterious by SIFT in silico analyses. Based on the majority of available evidence to date, this variant is likely to be pathogenic. -
