Ethnic differences in key candidate genes for spontaneous preterm birth: TNF-alpha and its receptors.

Human heredity - 1 Jan 2006

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVES: Spontaneous preterm birth (PTB) has a significant ethnic disparity with people of African descent having an almost 2-fold higher incidence than those of European descent in the United States. This disparity may be caused by differences in the distribution of genetic risk factors. The objective of this study is to examine genetic differences between African-Americans and European Americans for single...
