This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. Preterm delivery is a mojor public health problem with a significant impact on perinatal morbidity and mortality. Preterm infants currently constitute approximately 10% of live births and account for 50-70% of neonatal morbidity and mortality. This substantial public health problem has increased despite technological and medical advances over the past 30 years. Several different lines of evidence have suggested but not established a genetic contribution. The possibility of genes that cause or predispose to preterm labor holds tremendous protential for improving the management of preterm labor in the future. The overall goal of this protocol is to determine whether familial prematurity syndromes exist and if so to establish their genetic basis. We will evaluate mothers delivering preterm for the segregation of preterm delivery traits in their family and estimate the prevalence of inherited forms of preterm delivery. We will subsequently establish a linked epidemiologic and biologic repository that can be used for genomic scan and compare cases and controls to see if there are conditions associate with familial preterm delivery syndromes

该子项目是利用NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源的许多研究子项目之一。子项目和研究者（PI）可能从另一个NIH来源获得主要资金，因此可以在其他CRISP条目中表示。所列机构为中心，不一定是研究者所在机构。早产是一个主要的公共卫生问题，对围产期发病率和死亡率有重大影响。早产儿目前约占活产婴儿的10%，占新生儿发病率和死亡率的50-70%。尽管过去30年来技术和医学取得了进步，但这一重大公共卫生问题仍有所增加。几种不同的证据表明，但没有建立遗传贡献。基因导致早产的可能性对未来改善早产的管理具有巨大的潜力。本方案的总体目标是确定是否存在家族性早产综合征，如果存在，则确定其遗传基础。我们将评估早产母亲在其家庭中早产特征的分离，并估计遗传性早产的患病率。我们随后将建立一个流行病学和生物学的关联库，用于基因组扫描，并比较病例和对照组，以确定是否存在与家族性早产综合征相关的条件
