Abstract
Antenatal glucocorticoids can reduce the frequency and severity of neonatal lung disease by 60%. Variations in maternal and fetal steroid metabolism may affect modify the efficacy of this crucial intervention. We studied the associations between maternal and fetal single nucleotide gene polymorphisms (SNPs) and the frequency of respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) after antenatal exposure to betamethasone.
