Premature birth risk appears to be genetic, say researchers after finding early births tend to run in families. Women born prematurely or who have brothers or sisters who were born too early are 50-60% more likely to have a premature baby themselves, they say. The University of Aberdeen study is based on maternity records of 22,343 Scottish mothers and their daughters. Obstetrics & Gynecology journal says the work may help others to predict and plan for these high risk births. (source: news.bbc.co.uk)
