SUMMARY:Database and genomic approaches to preterm birth etiology
DESCRIPTION:
 The presentation will include background on existing 
 repository based studies of preterm birth 
 and evidence for the role of gnetics in its 
 etiology.  We will outline genomic approaches 
 to preterm birth as a complex traits including 
 gene expression analysis and genome wide 
 association and present data from both candidate 
 gene and genome wide studies from work 
 in Iowa, Argentina, and Denmark.  Future directions 
 including a study of African Americans 
 and preterm birth and its complications will 
 also be presented.  Presented by Dr. Jeff Murray 
 of the University of Iowa as part of the 
 Department of Epidemiology's Spring Seminar 
 Series.\n\n
