By detecting high amounts of fetal fibronectin - a biochemical marker produced by the fetus - in the cervix, doctors can tell when a woman with symptoms of threatened pre-term birth is likely to deliver.
Byline: Evan Henerson Staff Writer While so many prenatal tests are designed to reach a diagnosis or lead doctors to conduct additional tests, the aim of the fetal fibronectin test (fFN) is to determine which patients are not likely to have a preterm delivery.
