Abstract
Black race is one of the strongest risk factors for preterm birth (PTB). Recently published data supports the hypothesis that genetic variation is a critical component in the pathogenesis of PTB and may account, in part, for the differences in PTB among different racial groups. We sought to identify single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with PTB within a cohort of black women.
