Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Accumulating epidemiological evidence points to strong genetic susceptibility to placental abruption (PA). However, characterization of genes associated with PA remains incomplete. We conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of PA and a meta-analysis of GWAS. METHODS: Participants of the Placental Abruption Genetic Epidemiology (PAGE) study, a population based case-control study of PA...
