Assessment of fetal brain health via circulating exRNA carriers for opioid use disorder in pregnancy
Project Summary We are submitting this proposal in response to PAR-20-147 (Extracellular RNA carrier subclasses in processes relevant to Substance Use Disorders or HIV infection). The opioid epidemic in the United States has far reaching consequences for public health. In recent decades, the rate of newborns born with neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS) has increased dramatically. However, not all neonates exposed to opioids during gestation develop NAS or require treatment. NAS is a complex and idiosyncratic condition, and it is currently not possible to predict even at birth which infants will require pharmacotherapy or be susceptible to its worst outcomes. Accessible biomarkers for fetal…
