We examined three dimensions of placental growth: 1) placental weight; 2) placental thickness; and 3) chorionic plate area, using data from the National Collaborative Perinatal Project (NCPP).

It seems specific to placenta growth because we did not find the same risk when we looked at the genetics of baby weight." Faster-growing placenta was also linked to shorter pregnancy.

In these 15 normal subjects the mean value for serum HPL at term was 6.8±2.1 μg per milliliter, for mean placental weight 450 ± 50 gm and for fetal weight 3140 gm.

Silencing of Dlk1 was also associated with the offspring's lower birth weight. Kaminen-Ahola says that the silencing of DLK1 gene has also been linked to low birth weight in humans.
