Subject Quantitative analysis for metabolic markers of preterm births in Korea

Abstract The Korean society is not suffering from the low birth rate, which is the second lowest in the world, after Portugal among 34 OECD countries. To mitigate this social problem, it is necessary to early diagnose preterm births. Towards this goal, we have tried to establish a quantitative analysis method for metabolic biomarkers of preterm births. As biomarker candidates, formate, acetate, citrate, tyrosine, and lysine have been suggested in previous studies. In our study, we established a GC-MS quantitative analysis method for formate, acetate, and citrate. In parallel, LC-MS/MS based MRM method was established for the analysis of lysine and tyrosine. This quantitative analysis method will be used to early diagnose abortion and preterm births.
