Objective: To examine if hypoxia-inducible factor-1 alpha (Hif-1 alpha) polymorphisms are associated with pediatric acute respiratory distress syndrome (PARDS). Methods: Twenty two patients with PARDS and 11 non-PARDS controls were examined in pediatric intensive care unit in Cukurova University Balcali Hospital. Blood polymorphism was used to assess the Hif-1 alpha C1772T and G1790A polymorphisms of Hif-1 alpha gene, and differences in genotypes between the 2 groups were compared. Results: Hif-1 alpha C1772T polymorphism was observed only in one case of PARDS group but non-PARDS group didn't show any C1772T polymorphism. Particularly, the difference in number of cases with Hif-1 alpha G1790A polymorphism was not significant between PARDS and non-PARDS groups. In addition, Hif-1 alpha G1790A polymorphism was significantly related to the distribution of lung opacities in children with PARDS (P
