NX Prenatal Study Identifies Novel Proteomic Biomarkers of Spontaneous Preterm Birth from Serum-Derived Microparticles
The American Journal of Perinatology has published the results of a blinded, retrospective study of 48 asymptomatic, healthy pregnant women that demonstrates the feasibility of assessing biomarkers associated with blood based microvesicles/exosomes for spontaneous preterm birth (SPTB) risk. The study describes a new library of statistically valued biomarkers for prenatal risk assessment that were identified at week 15-17 of gestation.
