Noninvasive screening for congenital heart defects using a serum metabolomics approach

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: Heart anomalies represent nearly one-third of all congenital anomalies. They are currently diagnosed using ultrasound. However, there is a strong need for a more accurate and less operator-dependent screening method. Here we report a metabolomics characterization of maternal serum in order to describe a metabolomic fingerprint representative of heart congenital anomalies. METHODS: Metabolomic profiles...
