The results from the present study suggested that PP14 may be a novel potential biomarker for PPROM, and may be developed into a lateral flow assay for bedside application to rapidly diagnose PPROM.
A single nucleotide A>G polymorphism at position -670 in the Fas gene promoter: relationship to preterm premature rupture of fetal membranes in multifetal pregnancies.
Polymorphisms in the tumor necrosis factor-alpha gene at position -308 and the inducible 70 kd heat shock protein gene at position +1267 in multifetal pregnancies and preterm premature rupture of fetal membranes.
