Genetic influences on preterm birth.

MCN. The American journal of maternal child nursing - 1 Jan 2000

Giarratano Gloria

Abstract excerpt

This article summarizes the scientific evidence supporting a genetic predisposition to preterm birth (PTB) and current molecular methods used to study the genetic links. Selected candidate genes currently under consideration for study are also discussed. Understanding the etiology and pathophysiology of PTB remains at the forefront of research efforts to solve this critical problem. Awareness of the contributing...
