Comparison of telomere length between male and female infants.

<p>Telomere length was not significantly different between male and female fetuses of women with normal pregnancy (NP) (P = 0.587), gestational diabetes (GDM) (P = 0.746), gestational hypertension (GH) (P = 0.772) or preeclampsia (PE) (P = 0.107).</p

Comparison of fetal telomere length among normal pregnancy (NP), gestational diabetes (GDM), gestational hypertension (GH) and preeclampsia (PE).

<p>There were significant differences in fetal telomere length (F = 3.083, P = 0.028). Fetal telomere length was significantly shorter in gestational diabetes than that of normal pregnancy (P = 0.028). There was no significant differences in fetal telomere length between normal pregnancy and gestational hypertension (P = 0.561), between normal pregnancy and preeclampsia (P = 0.841).</p
