NEW YORK (GenomeWeb) – A team led by researchers at the University of California, San Francisco and the University of Iowa has developed a proteomic test for predicting pregnant women's risk of preterm birth and preeclampsia.
In a study published this week in the Journal of Perinatology, the test identified roughly 80 percent of women who would go on to have a preterm delivery and more than 88 percent of women who would have a preterm delivery and develop preeclampsia.
