Genetic association study of preterm birth and gestational age in a population-based case-control study in Peru

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

Preterm birth (PTB) affects ∼15 million pregnancies worldwide. Genetic studies have identified several candidate loci for PTB, but results remain inconclusive and limited to European populations. Thus, we conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of PTB and gestational age at delivery (GA) among 2,212 Peruvian women.
