  1. aN = 219 white infants with complete data for SP-A1 alleles and N = 222 white infants with complete data for SP-A2 alleles.
  2. bSeparate logistic regression analyses were performed for each outcome measure and each haplotype with all other haplotypes serving as the reference group in each model. All model results include estimates of model variability due to ambiguity in allele haplotype assignment (see "Data analysis" in text).
  3. cBy convention [ref Lofgren et al JID 2002;185:283-289], SP-A1 allele haplotypes are denoted by 6An and SP-A2 alleles by 1Am.
  4. dCodons aa62, aa133, and aa140 are silent.
  5. eEstimated frequency distribution of SP-A1 and SP-A2 haplotypes (mean, 95% CI) for white infants.
