Single nucleotide polymorphisms and use of same predicting male-specific prenatal loss

摘要

The present invention is directed to a panel of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in specific genes that serve as biomarkers for sex-specific prenatal loss of a conceptus or embryo. There is provided herein methods and reagents for assessing the specific SNPs in those genes. The method useful in applying these SNPs in predicting an increased risk of prenatal loss is also disclosed.
