Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Heritable thrombophilias have been implicated as a potential cause of abruption by vascular disruption at the uteroplacental interface. Polymorphisms of the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene have been linked to vascular complications outside of pregnancy, which includes stroke. Given the underlying thrombotic nature of abruption, we hypothesized that polymorphisms in the MTHFR gene are...
