| مستخلص: |
The article presents a study to determine if African ancestry can account for pre-term birth variance among African American women. It states that the study involved genotyping 1,509 markers for African ancestry among 1,030 women, such as cytochrome P450 101 (CYP1A1) and glutathione S-transferases Theta 1 (GSTT1). Cited findings show that African ancestry is a significant cause for pre-term birth variance, and suggests the need to find ways to better predict such cases. |
