Abstract:Laboratory markers of undifferentiated connective tissue dysplasia (UCTD) are indicators of the matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) system, which are involved in the remodeling of connective tissue components, morphogenesis, inflammation. Purpose - to analyze the correlation between signs of UCTD in postpartum women and the level of serum MMP-1, tissue inhibitor of MMP-1 (TIMP-1) and the MMP-1/TIMP-1 ratio in newborns. Materials and methods. We examined 122 women in labor and their 122 newborn children with a ges… Show more
