Derangement in pulmonary surfactant or its components and alveolar collapse are common findings in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). Surfactant proteins play important roles in innate host defense and normal function of the lung. We examined associations between IPF and genetic polymorphic variants of surfactant proteins, SP-A1, SP-A2, SP-B, SP-C, and SP-D. One SP-A1 (6A(4)) allele and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that characterize the 6A(4) allele, and one SP-B (B1580_C) were found with higher frequency ( P
