Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: Preterm birth is 1.5 times more common in African American (17.8%) than European American women (11.5%), even after controlling for confounding variables. We hypothesize that genetic factors may account for this disparity and can be identified by admixture mapping. METHODS: This is a secondary analysis of women with at least one prior spontaneous preterm birth enrolled in a multicenter prospective...
