A cross-sectional analysis of syncytiotrophoblast membrane extracellular vesicles–derived transcriptomic biomarkers in early-onset preeclampsia

Abstract excerpt

Background Preeclampsia (PE) is a pregnancy-specific hypertensive disorder affecting 2%–8% of pregnancies worldwide. Biomarker(s) for the disorder exists, but while these have excellent negative predictive value, their positive predictive value is poor. Extracellular vesicles released by the placenta into the maternal circulation, syncytiotrophoblast membrane extracellular vesicles (STB-EVs), have been identified...
