These comparisons revealed that, among 54 differentially expressed loci by microarray, one lncRNA (BC107431 in PPROM vs. sPTB) and seven mRNAs (ADAMTS15 in PPROM vs. sPTB; TATDN1 in PPROM vs. sPTB, PPROM vs. PROM, and [PPROM + PROM] vs. [sPTB + FTB]; AQPEP in PPROM vs. sPTB and sPTB vs. FTB; and TACC2 in PPROM vs. sPTB) by qPCR did not match the results of microarray, while 46 out of 54 (85.2%) were consistent with the results of microarray. Here, LVRN is linked to preterm premature rupture of the membranes.
