A single nucleotide A>G polymorphism at the position -670 in the Fas gene promoter: Relationship to preterm premature rupture of fetal membranes in multifetal pregnancies
Article Abstract:
The relationship between a polymorphism at position -670 in the Fas gene (TNFRSF6) and preterm premature rupture (PPROM) in multifetal pregnancies was examined. A genetic variant in the Fas gene is associated with an increased rate of PPROM in multifetal pregnancies.

Identification of kynurenine pathway enzyme mRNAs and metabolites in human placenta: Up-regulation by inflammatory stimuli and with clinical infection
Article Abstract:
The study determines whether placental-derived kynurenines contributes to infection-mediated fetal cerebral injury. Inflammatory mediated release of kynurenines from placentae exposes the fetus to significant amounts of potentially neurotoxic substances.
