The Influence of the Environment and Other Exogenous Agents on Spontaneous Abortion Risk R. Samuel McLaughlin Centre for Population Health Risk Assessment Abstract It has been estimated that close to 30% of all pregnancies end in spontaneous abortion. Although about 60% of spontaneous abortions are thought to be due to genetic, infectious, hormonal and immunological factors, the rol

The system requires the provision of two synthetic oligonucleotide primers containing the desired mutation. Incorporation of the oligonucleotide primers with NZYDNAChan
