Neonatal Salivary Analysis Reveals Global Developmental Gene Expression Changes in the Premature Infant
3 Dec 2009
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: There is an important need to develop noninvasive biomarkers to detect disease in premature neonates. Our objective was to determine if salivary genomic analysis provides novel information about neonatal expression of developmental genes. METHODS: Saliva (50-200 microL) was prospectively collected from 5 premature infants at 5 time points: before, starting, and advancing enteral nutrition; at the...
