Differential gene expression elicited by ZIKV infection in trophoblasts from congenital Zika syndrome discordant twins
2019-12-06
Abstract excerpt
Zika virus (ZIKV) causes congenital Zika syndrome (CZS), which is characterized by fetal demise, microcephaly and other abnormalities. ZIKV in the pregnant woman circulation must cross the placental barrier that includes fetal endothelial cells and trophoblasts, in order to reach the fetus. CZS occurs in ∼1-40% of cases of pregnant women infected by ZIKV, suggesting that mothers’ infection by ZIKV during pregnancy...
