Differential Placental Gene Expression in Term Pregnancies Affected by Fetal Growth Restriction and Macrosomia

Abstract excerpt

<b><i>Introduction:</i></b> Extremes of fetal growth are associated with increased perinatal mortality and morbidity and a higher prevalence of cardiovascular disease, obesity and diabetes in later life. We aimed to identify changes in placental gene expression in pregnancies with evidence of growth dysfunction and candidate genes that may be used to identify abnormal patterns of growth...
