Tyrosine Kinase-2, Angiopoietin-2, and Thrombomodulin Axes in the Late-Onset Fetal Growth Restriction: A Prospective Cohort Study by Esra Altan Erbilen, Fusun Gulizar Varol

“… OBJECTIVE: Investigating the interaction among three interconnected proteins, namely receptor Tyrosine Kinase-2 (Tie-2), the vascular remodeling cytokine Angiopoietin-2 (Ang-2), and the coagulation inhibitor Thrombomodulin (TM), may offer fresh insights into the multifactorial origins of late-onset fetal growth restriction (LFGR). STUDY DESIGN: In this prospective cohort study, we assessed the maternal serum concentrations of Tie-2, Ang-2, and TM in pregnancies that developed LFGR (n=30) and a control group (n=59) within the gestational weeks of 32-39 gestational weeks at Trakya University Hospital (January 2021-December 2021). …”
