Maternal BMI and Placental Transcriptomic Changes: A Meta-Analysis of Gene Expression at the Maternal-Fetal Interface

2026-06-15

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Objective</h4> Maternal body mass index (BMI) is often used as a measure of metabolic status and increased or decreased maternal BMI is associated with a heightened risk of cardiometabolic diseases across generations. The placenta mediates these maternal metabolic cues; however, its genome-wide transcriptional adaptations in response to maternal BMI remain incompletely defined. <h4>Methods</h4> To delineate...
