Abstract excerpt
Stillbirth is a devastating adverse pregnancy outcome affecting 2 million pregnancies worldwide. Although an etiology may be found in some stillbirths, one-third remain unexplained. Stillbirth clusters in families and few underlying inherited genes associated with stillbirth are known. Well-characterized family-based studies may aid in identifying genetic contributors to unexplained stillbirth. Using the Utah...
