WNK2 and necrotizing enterocolitis: It was reported that examination of 31 SNPs in 9 different DUSP (dual specificity phosphatase, a key suppressor of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathways) genes using Agena Mass Array assay demonstrated that the presence of the rs704074 SNP was associated with greatly decreased risk of developing NEC and remarkably decreased surgical NEC in survey of 50 (≥ stage II) cases [55].
