Fetal growth restriction arising from placental insufficiency is a leading cause of stillbirth. We recently identified low maternal circulating SPINT1 concentrations as a novel biomarker of poor fetal growth. Here we measured SPINT1 in a prospective cohort in Singapore. Circulating SPINT1 concentrations were significantly lower among 141 pregnant women destined to deliver small-for-gestational age infants (birthweight <10th centile), compared to 772 controls (p < 0.01) at as early as 26 weeks’ gestation. There were no correlations between infant body composition and circulating SPINT1 concentrations at 26 weeks. This provides validation that low maternal SPINT1 concentration is associated with poor fetal growth.

Abstract

Fetal growth restriction arising from placental insufficiency is a leading cause of stillbirth. We recently identified low maternal circulating SPINT1 concentrations as a novel biomarker of poor fetal growth. Here we measured SPINT1 in a prospective cohort in Singapore. Circulating SPINT1 concentrations were significantly lower among 141 pregnant women destined to deliver small-for-gestational age infants (birthweight <10th centile), compared to 772 controls (p < 0.01) at as early as 26 weeks’ gestation. There were no correlations between infant body composition and circulating SPINT1 concentrations at 26 weeks. This provides validation that low maternal SPINT1 concentration is associated with poor fetal growth.
