Genetic contributions to disparities in preterm birth.

Pediatric research - 1 Jan 2009

Anum Emmanuel A, Springel Edward H, Shriver Mark D, Strauss Jerome F

Abstract excerpt

Ethnic disparity in preterm delivery between African Americans and European Americans has existed for decades, and is likely the consequence of multiple factors, including socioeconomic status, environment, and genetics. This review summarizes existing information on genetic variation and its association with preterm birth in African Americans. Candidate gene-based association studies, in which investigators have...
