Racial differences in genetic and environmental risk to preterm birth.

PloS one - 25 Aug 2010

York Timothy P, Strauss Jerome F, Neale Michael C, Eaves Lindon J

Abstract excerpt

Preterm birth is more prevalent in African Americans than European Americans and contributes to 3.4 times more African American infant deaths. Models of social inequity do not appreciably account for this marked disparity and molecular genetic studies have yet to characterize whether allelic differences that exist between races contribute to this gap. In this study, biometrical genetic models are applied to a...
