Identification of Pregnancy-Associated MicroRNAs in Maternal Plasma

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Several placental microRNAs (miRNAs) have been identified as pregnancy-associated molecules with the potential for use in estimating the condition of the placenta. Our understanding of these novel molecules is still limited, however. The aim of this study was to isolate and characterize pregnancy-associated miRNAs in maternal plasma. METHODS: By microarray-based screening of 723 human miRNAs, we...
