The Use of New Technologies in the Study of Pregnancy Disorders: The OMICS Approach
Journal Title: Journal of Cardiovascular Medicine and Cardiology - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
The “omics” technologies represent a new model of approach in the study of human disease. Metabolomics is defined as the quantitative measurement of the dynamic metabolic response of living systems to genetic, physical, pathological or developmental factors. Proteomics analysis of biological samples has the potential to identify novel protein expression patterns and/or changes in protein expression patterns in different developmental or disease states. In this manuscript we present the omics technologies applicated in obstetrics. The management of different pregnancy diseases could be improved by knowing their metabolic background. In this review we focused our attention on omics application for intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), preterm birth and preeclampsia.
