Research summary
Summary: NONE
Lay summary of study results:
We analysed gene expression in the placentas as intended, but the study did not produce informative results. The primary issue was that when the samples were unblinded, it became apparent that the groups were not well-matched in terms of gestational age, making interpretation of the data difficult.
