The coding polymorphism (rs1130866) within the surfactant protein B gene is known to associate with certain respiratory abnormalities. We investigated, using spirometry and fluorescence based gene amplification, whether this variant influenced pulmonary function in healthy, non-smoking men. We found no association of pulmonary function with genotype at the rs1130866 locus.
