Genetic studies using dried blood spot samples with particular focus
... Archived dried blood spot samples are in this thesis used to investigate the genetic aspects of preterm birth. Being born preterm, before 37 weeks of gestation, is the direct cause of 75% of all prenatal mortalities and more than 50% of all long-term morbidities (cerebral palsy, asthma, vision, hear ...
