Sexually dimorphic patterns in maternal circulating microRNAs in pregnancies complicated by fetal growth restriction

Highlights Detection and treatment of pregnancies at high risk of fetal growth restriction (FGR) and stillbirth remains a major obstetric challenge; circulating maternal serum microRNAs (miRNAs) offer potential as novel biomarkers. Unbiased analysis of serum miRNAs in women in late pregnancy identif...
