Genome-wide approach identifies a novel gene-maternal pre-pregnancy BMI interaction on preterm birth

Preterm birth (PTB) has high prevalence and PTB infants have greater risk for mortality. Here, Hong and colleagues perform a genome-wide gene × environment interaction analysis and find that maternalCOL24A1variants have a significant interaction with maternal pre-pregnancy obesity in increasing PTB...
