Differential placental expression profile of human Growth Hormone/Chorionic Somatomammotropin genes in pregnancies with pre-eclampsia and gestational diabetes mellitus

► A trend for lower level of all placental hGH/CSH transcripts in preeclampsia. ► Reduced GH2-2/CSH1-2 transcripts retaining intron 4 only in preeclampsia without SGA. ► Increased level of placental GH2 mRNA in gestational diabetes with LGA newborns. ► hGH/CSH genes exhibit pleiotropic effects on fe...
