Summary

The lay summary the sponsor registered on ClinicalTrials.gov.

The goal of this study is to examine how cellular dysfunction can lead to preterm birth. Women with singleton pregnancies with spontaneous preterm labor, preterm premature rupture of membranes, and cervical insufficiency (20 to 36-6/7 weeks gestation), and term deliveries (greater than 38 weeks) will be enrolled. Medical/obstetric history and pregnancy outcomes will be recorded. Maternal blood, urine and cervical cells (enrollment); cord blood and placental biopsy (delivery) will be collected.
