Interaction of apolipoprotein E gene polymorphisms on miscarriage risk in black and white American women.

Objective: To evaluate whether [1] apolipoprotein E (APOE) polymorphisms can differentially regulate miscarriage risk and [2] whether this genotype effect could also be modulated by the race within populations.

Design: Data were derived from the Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults (CARDIA), a longitudinal study with black and white participants from four U.S.
