The University of Adelaide's Robinson Institute is on the brink of enabling a quantum leap forward in the care of pregnant women and their babies.

The Institute's research has revealed that subtle variations in specific gene sequences in a mother, father or their baby indicate the mother is more likely to suffer pregnancy complications.

As a result, work is underway to create a genetic test that will - for the first time - identify a couple's risk of complications before symptoms arise, allowing potentially life-saving tailored antenatal care.

In this fascinating presentation, Associate Professor Claire Roberts will explain her team's exciting progress, as well as discuss many other known pregnancy risk factors.
