Genetic variants associated with spontaneous preterm birth in women from India: a prospective cohort study
Despite having the highest number of preterm births globally, no genomic study on preterm birth was previously published from India or other South-Asian countries. We conducted a genome-wide association (GWA) study of spontaneous preterm birth (sPTB) on 6211 women from India. We used a novel resampl...

Zusammenfassung: | Despite having the highest number of preterm births globally, no genomic study on preterm birth was previously published from India or other South-Asian countries.
We conducted a genome-wide association (GWA) study of spontaneous preterm birth (sPTB) on 6211 women from India. We used a novel resampling procedure to identify the associated single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) followed by haplotype association analysis and imputation.
We found that 512 maternal SNPs were associated with sPTB (p |
