They reported that increased levels of sialic acid-binding immunoglobulin-type lectin (SIGLEC)-14 and basal cell adhesion molecule (BCAM) along with decreased levels of angiopoietin-like 3 (ANGPTL3) in the first week of life can predict the outcome of BPD with high specificity and sensitivity39. This evidence concerns the gene SIGLEC14 and bronchopulmonary dysplasia.
