Uncovering the role of genetic polymorphisms in cervical insufficiency
Pathways and genes implicated in CI pathogenesis. Abstract Cervical insufficiency (CI) is characterized by spontaneous dilation of the cervix in the absence of painful uterine contractions in the mid‐trimester, leading to premature delivery. It is responsible for up to 20% of second trimester pregnancy losses, mostly <24 weeks.
