Abstract:Early-onset severe preeclampsia (EO-PE) is a distinct and highly consequential form of preeclampsia (PE), presenting significant challenges for early detection. Here, we investigated the fragmentation pattern of plasma cell-free DNA (cfDNA) in EO-PE patients. We uncovered that the nucleotide composition at the 5’ end (i.e. ends motif) of plasma cfDNA showed a unique pathological preference in EO-PE pregnancies and gestational-psychology preference in healthy pregnancies. By integrating 91 EO-PE specific motifs… Show more
