Intrauterine exposure to amniotic fluid (AF) cytokines is thought to predispose to bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). We evaluated the effects of GBS exposure on RNA expression in fetal lung tissue to determine early molecular pathways associated with fetal lung injury that may progress to BPD. Ten ...
The overall purpose of this study was to demonstrate the feasibility of producing haplotype-phased whole genome sequence data from a fetus using free fetal DNA isolated from maternal plasma collected during the first half of gestation.
