NT-PROCNP AS A BIOMARKER OF VASCULAR DISORDERS AND PREGNANCY COMPLICATION

摘要

The present disclosure relates to methods for the prognosis and/or diagnosis of vascular-related disorders in a subject and in particular pregnancy-related vascular disorders. The present disclosure is based on the finding that a positive correlation exists between positive prediction of a vascular disorder event in a subject and the concentration of the circulating marker NTproCNP (also referred to as NT-CNP) in humans and animals. In addition, the present disclosure is based on the finding that there is also a positive correlation between the occurrence of a vascular-related adverse event during pregnancy and the concentration of the circulating marker NTproCNP in the maternal circulation.
