Placental Delta-Like 1 Gene DNA Methylation Levels Are Related to Mothers’ Blood Glucose Concentration

Figure 3

Spearman correlation between placental DLK1 gene promotor DNA methylation and 2 h OGTT glucose levels and fetal birth weight. (a) The correlation between the methylation level of DLK1 promotor region in the maternal side of the placenta and 2 h OGTT glucose levels. (b) The correlation between the methylation level of DLK1 promotor region in the fetal side of the placenta and fetal birth weight. 30 samples were included in the analysis (15 control samples and 15 GDM samples).
