title: Erythrocyte acid phosphatase phenotype and gestational length: no relationship in a sample of 3001 births.
abstract: Erythrocyte acid phosphatase (ACP1) phenotype was examined in 3001 Caucasian infants born at the University of Michigan Women's Hospital. Contrary to reports from other studies, there was no relationship between the ACP1 phenotype and risk of preterm birth in either the total sample or when the sample was subdivided by sex of infant.
