A Diagnostic to Determine Sensitivity to Pharmaceutical Oxytocin and Risk of Postpartum Blood Loss based on Genetic and/or Epigenetic Factors
This invention is for a genetic polymorphism test for assessing the risk of postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) and consequently the need for pharmacological oxytocin. This novel test uses a blood or saliva sample to identify key epigenetic variants linked to oxytocin receptor gene function, ultimately allowing for assessment of responsiveness to the medication.
Background:...
