Race, genes and preterm delivery.

Journal of the National Medical Association - 1 Nov 2005

Fiscella Kevin

Abstract excerpt

High rates of preterm delivery (PTD) among African Americans are the leading cause of excess infant mortality among African Americans. Failure to fully explain racial disparity in PTD has led to speculation that genetic factors might contribute to this disparity. Current evidence suggests that ge...
