Influence of oxytocin receptor single nucleotide sequence variants on contractility of human myometrium: an in vitro functional study

Influence of oxytocin receptor single nucleotide sequence variants on contractility of human myometrium: an in vitro functional study

Abstract Background Oxytocin receptor (OXTR) gene variants have been shown to affect the prevalence of preterm birth, mode of delivery and oxytocin (OXT) requirements for labor induction and augmentation. We hypothesized that this might be associated with different myometrium responses to oxytocin....
