McReynolds et al. [69] |
Secretomes of morphologically similar aneuploidy vs. euploidy blastocysts |
Lipocalin-1 |
Differentially expressed between aneuploidy and euploidy blastocysts; reflects aneuploidy rather than failed implantation; if overexpressed, causes protease/anti-protease imbalance inhibiting implantation |
Binds to hydrophobic ligands; inhibits cysteine proteases; high levels signify stress, infection, and inflammation |
Tsangaris et al. [68] |
Amniotic fluid of Down Syndrome fetuses (cases) vs. healthy fetuses (controls) |
Insulin-like growth factor binding proteins |
40% less in Down Syndrome cases than in controls |
Transport |
