Umbilical Cord miRNAs in Small-for-Gestational-Age Children and Association With Catch-Up Growth: A Pilot Study

Catch-up growth in infants who are small for gestational age (SGA) is a risk factor for the development of cardiometabolic diseases in adulthood. The basis and mechanisms underpinning catch-up growth in newborns who are SGA are unknown.To identify umbilical cord miRNAs associated with catch-up growth in infants who are SGA and study their relationship with offspring's cardiometabolic parameters.miRNA PCR panels were used to study the miRNA...
