Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Vascular thrombotic tendency may lead to fetal growth restriction (FGR). Altered platelet function and genetic heterogeneity may play a role in this procedure. We investigated whether maternal or fetal genotypic frequencies of genes polymorphisms for certain platelet receptor and cell adhesion molecules are altered in FGR. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We compared the maternal and fetal genotypic frequencies...
