Background: Cardiorespiratory coupling (CRC) is a physiological phenomenon that reflects the mutual interaction between the cardiac and respiratory control systems. It is mainly associated with efferent vagal activity from the central autonomic network. Few studies have explored the autonomic changes of CRC in preeclampsia, a critical obstetric complication related to possible autonomic dysfunctions and inflammatory disturbances.

Prediction of preterm birth contributes to child survival by providing timely and skilled care to both mother and child. Electrohysterography is an affordable, noninvasive technique that has been highly sensitive in diagnosing preterm labor.

Objective: We aimed to analyze and compare the transcriptome disruption in several brain areas from individuals with DS and euploid controls as a new approach to consider a global systemic differential disruption of gene expression beyond chromosome 21.
Methods: We used data from a DNA microarray experiment with ID GSE59630 previously deposited in the GEO DataSet of NCBI database.
DNA methylation and histone posttranslational modifications are epigenetics processes that contribute to neurophenotype of Down Syndrome (DS). Previous reports present strong evidence that nonhistone high-mobility-group N proteins (HMGN) are epigenetic regulators. They play important functions in various process to maintain homeostasis in the brain.
