Placental expression of imprinted genes varies with sampling site and mode of delivery

•77% variation in expression of PHLDA2 between distal and proximal sampling sites.•2.4-fold increase in placental expression of CDKN1C induced by labour.•May explain conflicting links between pregnancy pathologies and imprinted genes.
