Mutations in this gene and a highly similar gene located nearby, which affect the highly conserved carbohydrate recognition domain, are associated with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. The current version of the assembly displays only a single centromeric SFTPA gene pair rather than the two gene pairs shown in the previous assembly which were thought to have resulted from a duplication. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2009] Annotation information Note: In the NCBI Build 36 reference assembly, there were four SFTPA genes on chromosome 10, with the SFTPA1/SFTPA2 gene pair being centromeric to a SFTPA1B/SFTPA2B pair. In June 2009, the Genome Reference Consortium determined that the duplicated region containing one of these gene pairs is in error, and thus, only one SFTPA1/SFTPA2 pair is present in the GRCh37 reference assembly.
