Summary

Pulmonary surfactant metabolism dysfunction-5 (SMDP5) is an autosomal recessive lung disorder manifest clinically and pathologically as pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP). PAP is a rare lung disease characterized by the ineffective clearance of surfactant by alveolar macrophages. This results in the accumulation of surfactant-derived lipoproteinaceous material in the alveoli and terminal bronchioles, causing respiratory failure (summary by Greenhill and Kotton, 2009). For a general phenotypic description and a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of pulmonary surfactant metabolism dysfunction, see SMDP1 (265120). [from OMIM]
