No mutations found in candidate genes for dystocia.

Abstract excerpt

Dystocia is a disorder characterized by prolonged or dysfunctional labour. Delivery that starts late or not at all, leads to an increased risk for Caesarean section, infant morbidity and mortality. Familial aggregations of dystocia suggest a polygenic background.
