Pro‐inflammatory immune cell gene expression during the third trimester of pregnancy is associated with shorter gestational length and lower birthweight

Abstract excerpt

PROBLEM: Altered maternal immune function predicts risk for shorter gestation and low birthweight. Few studies examine associations between prenatal immune cell gene expression and gestational length or birthweight. No studies examine which cell types drive associations. The purpose of this study is to explore associations between peripheral blood immune cell gene expression and gestational length and...
