Effects of Assisted Reproduction Technology on Placental Imprinted Gene Expression

Figure 1

Gene expression of placental tissue. ART versus SC in AFD birth weight cases. ART: assisted reproductive technology. SC: spontaneous conception. AFD: appropriate-for-date. Results of gene expression analysis compared with the endogenous control GAPDH. In AFD birth weight cases, gene expression patterns were similar in both the ART and SC groups.
