Genetic variations and risk of placental abruption: A genome-wide association study and meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies

Accumulating epidemiological evidence points to strong genetic susceptibility to placental abruption (PA). However, characterization of genes associated with PA remains incomplete. We conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of PA and a meta-analysis of GWAS.
