Regulation of birthweight by placenta-derived miRNAs: evidence from an arsenic-exposed birth cohort in Bangladesh
3 Jun 2018
Abstract excerpt
Altered expression of microRNAs (miRNAs) is implicated in fetal growth. However, the mechanisms by which placenta-derived miRNAs regulate birthweight are not well understood. In Phase 1, we compared the expression of 754 miRNAs in the placenta of mothers from two extreme birthweight groups (0.8-2.2 kg vs. 3.3-3.9 kg, n = 77 each) selected from an arsenic-exposed Bangladeshi birth cohort (n = 1,141). We identified...
