PG - 97-107 LID - 10.1586/14789450.2015.979796 [doi] AB - OBJECTIVE: In this study, we aimed to search for noninvasive predictive biomarkers for prenatal diagnosis of Down's syndrome (DS). METHODS: Maternal serum samples from five DS-affected pregnant women and five DS-unaffected women were analyzed by 2D gel electrophoresis and MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry to screen for potential predictive biomarkers of DS. Then, differential levels of dGTPase, beta2-glycoprotein I (beta2-GPI), complement factor H-related protein 1 precursor (CFHR1) and kininogen 1 isoform 2 were further verified by western blotting tests in another independent group. RESULTS: Statistical analysis results revealed 29 protein spots whose levels differed significantly in the DS-affected pregnancies group. Of these, the eight most differentially expressed in DP were identified successfully. Among these, levels of dGTPase, CFHR1 and kininogen 1 were elevated significantly, whereas beta2-GPI was reduced in DP. DISCUSSION: These preliminarily verified proteins might serve as potential predictive biomarkers for DS-affected pregnancies.
