Transcriptomic analysis of fetal membranes reveals pathways involved in preterm birth

Abstract excerpt

Preterm birth (PTB), defined as infant delivery before 37 weeks of completed gestation, results of the interaction of both genetic and environmental components and constitutes a complex multifactorial syndrome. Transcriptome analysis of PTB has proved challenging because of the multiple causes of PTB and the numerous maternal and fetal gestational tissues that must interact to facilitate parturition. A common path...
