Overview
The purpose of this study is to determine whether increasing fetal exposure to antenatal BMZ is associated with improved lung function as a neonate, as well as improved lung function and reduced repiratory morbidity in the first year of life; and to determine whether the infant's genomic profile for BMZ metabolism is a determinant of lung function as a neonate, as well as improved lung function and reduced respiratory morbidity in the first year of life.
