Unexpected relationship between plasma homocysteine and intrauterine growth restriction
|
Background: Moderate hyperhomocysteinemia is considered a risk factor for thrombosis and atherosclerosis. We hypothesized that higher maternal and newborn homocysteine concentrations in plasma would increase the risk of intrauterine growth restriction through placental thrombosis.
Methods: We carried out a case-control study that included all cases born at our institution over a 2-year period whose birthweight was below the 10th percentiles for gestational age and sex according to Canadian norms; controls were born at the same period and institution at or above the 10th percentiles and were ...
