      Background: Lysophospholipid acyltransferase (LPCAT) is crucial for surfactant biosynthesis. It is encoded by LPCAT genes. We investigated the LPCAT1-rs9728 genotypes in neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (NRDS) cases and their possible association with the cord arterial serum interleukin-10 (IL-10), macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF), and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) levels. Methods: The study included 160 neonates grouped into G1: 60 healthy neonates and G2: 100 NRDS cases. IL-10, MIF, and VEGF levels were measured by their corresponding kits. The Gene JETTM Whole Blood Genomic DNA Purification Mini Kit was used to extract the DNA from the newborn venous blood. The quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction was carried out for LPCAT1-rs9728 genotyping. Results: The IL-10 and MIF levels were significantly higher, while VEGF levels were significantly lower in G2 than in G1. The percentages of LPCAT1-rs9728 AA and LPCAT1-rs9728 AG genotypes were significantly higher in G2 than in G1. The IL-10 and MIF levels were significantly higher, while the VEGF levels, birth weight, and APGAR score at 1 and 5 min were significantly lower in neonates with LPCAT1-rs9728 AA genotype than in neonates with LPCAT1-rs9728 AG and LPCAT1-rs9728 GG genotypes and in neonates with LPCAT1-rs9728 AG genotype than in neonates with LPCAT1-rs9728 GG genotype. Conclusion: There is an association between the LPCAT1-rs9728 AA genotype and its A allele and the NRDS development and severity. Further research may provide a better understanding of this association to help future management. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
