Abstract
⺠We examined placental PHLDA2 expression in 102 pregnancies. ⺠Identified negative correlation between placental PHLDA2 and fetal femur growth. ⺠Identified negative correlation between placental PHLDA2 and bone density at 4 years. ⺠Placental PHLDA2 may provide a biomarker for suboptimal skeletal growth.
