Alcohol Use During Pregnancy is Associated with Specific Alterations in Micro<scp>RNA</scp>Levels in Maternal Serum
1 Apr 2016
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Given the challenges of confirming prenatal alcohol exposure (PAE) during pregnancy using currently established biomarkers of alcohol consumption, we examined whether serum microRNAs (miRNAs) may serve as stable biomarkers for PAE. Alterations in the levels of specific circulating miRNAs have been associated with various disease states and in animal models of fetal alcohol spectrum disorder. METHODS:...
