Genetic polymorphisms and cerebral palsy in very preterm infants

Genetic polymorphisms and cerebral palsy in very preterm infants

In the present study, we examine whether selected genetic polymorphisms contribute to the development of cerebral palsy (CP) in very preterm infants. Subjects were 96 singleton infants with later-diagnosed CP and 119 control children, white non-Hispanic (n for CP=74, controls=88) or white Hispanic (...
