Science For Everyone: How Genetic Factors And Biomarkers Can Be Linked With Preterm Birth

Science For Everyone: This week, in ABP Live's science column, we discuss how genetic factors can be associated with preterm birth, and how such births can be prevented through genetic research. 

Preterm birth: According to a July 2023 article published in the journal Reproductive Sciences, genetic studies have identified genes with inflammatory, tissue remodelling, metabolic, immunological, endocrine, and vascular pathways that may be associated with preterm birth.

Preterm birth: Welcome back to “Science For Everyone”, ABP Live’s weekly science column. Last week, we explained why air pollution in Delhi has been so severe since early November, what its link to climate change is, and what measures need to be taken to combat it. This week, we discuss how genetic factors and biomarkers can be associated with preterm birth, and how such births can be prevented through genetic research.  Genetic factors can be linked to preterm birth,
