While the clinical meaning of a low PAPP-A level detected in the context of normal fetal aneuploidy screening remains under debate, pregnant patients with such results should be counseled that at present no strong evidence exists to justify an ongoing ultrasound surveillance program. Résumé Objectif
Pregnancy-associated plasma protein A is a protease that participates in the local release of insulinlike growth factors. Since the mid-1990s the established association of low levels of PAPP-A with Down syndrome has led to wide use of PAPP-A measurement as a part of aneuploidy screening.
A review of recently published articles revealed that current evidence is sparse and mixed for the association of low PAPP-A level with small size for gestational age, preterm delivery, hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, and stillbirth.
Levels of PAPP-A is used along with the values of free beta hCG and Nucal transuleceny as a part of first trimester screening .Ultrasound measures is used for measuring the nucal translucency while blood sample is used for measuring the lvels of PAPP-A and Free betahcg

Inadequate prenatal care is pregnancy-related care beginning in the fifth month of pregnancy or later or less than 50% of the appropriate number of visits for an infant's gestational age. In 2020, about 1 in 7 infants (14.8% of live births) was born to a woman receiving inadequate prenatal care in Washington.

PAPP-A is an independent marker of unstable angina and acute myocardial infarction (heart attack). It is also a risk factor in predicting death after an acute myocardial event.
Concentrations of PAPP-A are critical to normal fetal growth because of its role as an insulin-like growth factor-binding protein. The PAPP- A produced by the placenta will be released into the circulation.
