Effects of Assisted Reproduction Technology on Placental Imprinted Gene Expression

Figure 2

Gene expression of placental tissue. ART versus SC in FGR cases. There were no differences in the gene expression of IGF2; however, H19 expression was significantly reduced in FGR cases both in the ART and SC groups compared with the AFD birth weight cases (P < .02 and P < .05, resp.). Conversely, KCNQ1OT1 was hyperexpressed in FGR cases in the SC group (P < .05), while CDKN1C expression was reduced in FGR cases in the ART group (P < .01).
