Disparities in infant mortality: what's genetics got to do with it?

American journal of public health - 1 Jul 2007

David Richard, Collins James

Abstract excerpt

Since 1950, dramatic advances in human genetics have occurred, racial disparities in infant mortality have widened, and the United States' international ranking in infant mortality has deteriorated. The quest for a "preterm birth gene" to explain racial differences is now under way. Scores of pap...
