Circulating angiogenic proteins in trisomy 13
Article Abstract:
The study is carried out to characterize the maternal circulating angiogenic proteins in trisomy 13 pregnancies. It is found that alteration in circulating angiogenic factors can be involved intimately in the pathogenesis of preeclampsia in trisomy 13 and a larger clinical study that measures these factors longitudinally and correlates them with pregnancy outcomes is needed to further establish the link between trisomy13, altered angiogenic factors and preeclampsia.
