    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for assessing whether a pregnant subject is at risk of developing preeclampsia or a preeclampsia-related condition, or not, said method comprising the steps of determining the amount of the biomarker IGFBP-7 (Insulin-like Growth Factor Binding Protein 7) in a sample from the subject, and comparing the determined amount of the biomarker to a reference. Further, the present invention relates to the in vitro use of the biomarker IGFBP-7, or of at least one detection agent which specifically binds to IGFBP-7 in a sample of a pregnant subject for assessing whether said subject is at risk of developing preeclampsia or a preeclampsia-related condition, or not. Also encompassed by the present invention is a device adapted to carry out the method of the present invention.
