Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Calcium signaling is essential for immune function, myometrial contractions, and hormone secretion, all of which contribute to preterm birth. In this study, we investigated the associations of 3 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in CACNA1D gene, which encodes the Cav1.3 calcium channel, with the risk of spontaneous preterm birth (sPTB). METHODS: A hospital-based case-control study was conducted with...
