University of 亚洲色吧 researchers are developing a world-first genetic test that can predict which pregnancies are at risk of complications long before symptoms arise.

Led by , Senior Research Fellow in the University's new , the researchers have identified subtle variations in specific genes within the mother, father or baby that indicate the mother is more likely to suffer from pregnancy complications.

This advance will
