Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to analyze functional polymorphisms in candidate genes (methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase [MTHFR]677C>T, MTHFR1298A>C, factor 5 1691G>A [FVL], and angiotensinogen (AGT)-6G>A) in relation to a hypothesized placental hemorrhage pathway to preterm delivery (PTD). STUDY DESIGN: We assessed maternal genotypes, pregnancy outcomes, and placental pathologic evidence among 560...
