Abstract excerpt
Association between maternal-fetal proinflammatory cytokine genotype and preterm birth was studied. Isolated genomic DNA from maternal and cord blood samples of 100 preterm and 101 term labors were used for TNFα (-238G/A, -308G/A), IL-1α (4845G/T), and IL-1β (-511C/T) genotyping. TNFα -238 GA genotype in term neonates was significantly higher than the premature neonates (p<0.05). Maternal-fetal TNFα -238...
