Pregnancy associated plasma protein-a and placental growth factor in a sub-Saharan African population : A nested cross-sectional study

TL;DR: PAPP-A and PlGF MoMvalues appear to be substantially higher in a sub-Saharan African population compared to the Caucasian or Afro-Caribbean MoM values previously reported, suggesting the need for a specific correction factor for this population to avoid underestimation of risk for fetal aneuploidies or placental disorders.
