Racial disparity in maternal-fetal genetic epistasis in spontaneous preterm birth.

American journal of obstetrics and gynecology - 1 Jun 2008

Fortunato Stephen J, Menon Ramkumar, Velez Digna R, Thorsen Poul, Williams Scott M

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: To understand the differences in genetic interactions among tumor necrosis factor-alpha, interleukin-6 and their receptor gene variants between black and white patients in spontaneous preterm birth. STUDY DESIGN: Maternal and fetal DNA (n = 1195) were collected from cases (preterm birt...
