Journal club: Ancestry and preterm birth
Posted by Lance Gravlee on September 17th, 2009 in Journal club | No Comments »
The great thing about medical anthropology is that we could read about bioethical hegemony in journal club one week and the next week read this:
Tsai, H., Yu, Y., Zhang, S., Pearson, C., Ortiz, K., Xu, X. et al. (2009). Association of genetic ancestry with preterm delivery and related traits among African American mothers. American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 201(1), 94.e1-94.e10.
Amy Non will lead our discussion of this article tomorrow in our new room, Turlington 2322, at 10:40-11:30 a.m. (Period 4). Fresh on the heels of the new paper about genetic ancestry by Amy, Connie Mulligan, and me, this article promises to spark an interesting discussion.
