Gene Solutions Study Finds Preterm-Birth Signals in Routine triSure NIPT Data

A Gene Solutions study published in American Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology (AJOG) Global Reports finds cell-free DNA fragmentomic patterns associated with spontaneous preterm birth, pointing to a potential path toward earlier pregnancy-risk assessment.

SINGAPORE , Sept. 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Gene Solutions , a global biotechnology company providing precision cell-free DNA solutions through multi-omics and artificial intelligence to improve pregnancy care, cancer detection and precision medicine, today announced the publication of a study showing the potential to assess the risk of spontaneous preterm birth from cell-free DNA fragmentomic signals already present in routine first-trimester non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) data.

Published in AJOG Global Reports , the study , "First-Trimester Non-Invasive Prediction of Preterm Birth Using Cell-Free DNA Fragmentomics, " examined whether sequencing data already generated for NIPT could also provide an earlier molecular indication of spontaneous preterm-birth risk.
