Increased Levels of Cell-Free miR-517a and Decreased Levels of Cell-Free miR-518b in Maternal Plasma Samples From Placenta Previa Pregnancies at 32 Weeks of Gestation

Conclusion:
Plasma concentrations of cell-free miR-517a and miR-518b at 32 weeks of gestation were altered in pregnant women with placenta previa, and the circulating level of cell-free miR-517a in placenta previa may be a predictive marker for the risks of alert bleeding later and massive hemorrhage at delivery.
