Abstract

The altered expression pattern of miRNAs might potentially reflect anomalies related to foetal chromosomal aberrations. The aim of the study was to determine the expression level of miRNAs in plasma of pregnant women with foetal Down syndrome (DS). Out of 198 amniocentesis performed at 15-18 weeks of gestation, within a group of 12 patients with foetal DS and 12 patients with uncomplicated pregnancies, who delivered healthy newborns at term, we examined the expression level of 800 miRNAs using the NanoString technology. Our study revealed that there are 6 miRNAs were upregulated (hsa-miR-15a, hsa-let-7d, hsa-miR-142, hsa-miR-23a, hsa-miR-199, hsa-miR-191) and 7 were downregulated (hsa-miR-1290, hsa-miR-1915, hsa-miR30e, hsa-miR-1260, hsa-miR-483, hsa-miR-548, hsa-miR-590) in plasma samples of women with foetal DS syndrome. The genes regulated by identified miRNAs are involved in central nervous system development, congenital abnormalities and heart defects. The results of the present study yielded information on DS-specific miRNA expression signature, which can further help to design a panel of miRNAs as a non-invasive test for DS diagnosis. We believe that identified miRNAs may attend in the pathogenesis of DS and would potent...Continue Reading

Birth Defects

Birth defects encompass structural and functional alterations that occur during embryonic or fetal development and are present since birth. The cause may be genetic, environmental or unknown and can result in physical and/or mental impairment. Here is the latest research on birth defects.
