Association of genetic variants, ethnicity and preterm birth with amniotic fluid cytokine concentrations.

Annals of human genetics - 1 Mar 2010

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

Abstract excerpt

We examined the association of 166 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in cytokines and cytokine related genes with cytokine concentrations (IL-1beta, IL-8, and IL-10) in the amniotic fluid (AF). These cytokines have been associated with spontaneous preterm birth (PTB) and their genetic regulation may play a role in disease risk. These associations were studied in both PTB and term births in African Americans...
