Means and methods for the detection of a predisposition of a female subject to recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL), preeclampsia (PE) and/or fetal growth restriction (FGR)
Means and methods for the detection of a predisposition of a female subject to recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL), preeclampsia (PE) and/or fetal growth restriction (FGR)
The present invention relates to a method for diagnosing or detecting a predisposition of a female subject to recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL), preeclampsia (PE) and/or fetal growth restriction (FGR), comprising examining the human annexin A5 (ANXA5) promoter in a sample obtained from the intended biological father or the biological father and to detect nucleotide exchanges therein, wherein the presence of the nucleotide exchanges defined in (i) and/or (ii) indicates a predisposition of said female subject to recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL), preeclampsia (PE) and/or fetal growth restriction (FGR). The present invention also relates to a nucleic acid sequence comprising a human annexin A5 (ANXA5) promoter, which promoter comprises specific nucleotide exchanges defined herein, for use in the methods disclosed herein. The present invention further relates to a kit for use in the diagnostic methods disclosed herein.
