Abstract
We found increased placental expression of growth-promoting imprinted genes and decreased expression of growth-suppressive imprinted genes with advancing gestational age. These changes in placental gene expression could potentially explain accelerated fetal growth seen in the third trimester. Upregulation of maternally expressed imprinted genes in IUGR population supports the “parental conflict hypothesis”.
