Each year approximately 24,000 Australian children are born too early. A new international study led by Western Australian researchers is studying the role that genetics play in preterm birth. This study will evaluate the genomes of 10,000 women of which 2,000 come from Western Australia. It is anticipated that this study will advance our knowledge about the genetic basis of preterm birth and assist in providing customised clinical care to those at highest risk.

澳大利亚每年约有24，000名儿童过早出生。由西澳大利亚研究人员领导的一项新的国际研究正在研究遗传学在早产中的作用。这项研究将评估10，000名女性的基因组，其中2，000名来自西澳大利亚州。预计这项研究将提高我们对早产遗传基础的认识，并有助于为高危人群提供定制的临床护理。
