The Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology of India, 2019 Fetal growth restriction (FGR) is a failure of fetus to reach its expected biological growth, based on its genetically predetermined potential. Whenever effective fetal weight is less than, 10th percentile or 2 standard deviation of population-specific growth curve, it is considered small for gestational age (SGA).

Role of the Placental Vitamin D Receptor in Modulating Feto-Placental Growth in Fetal Growth Restriction and Preeclampsia-Affected Pregnancies [PDF]
, 2016 Fetal growth restriction (FGR) is a common pregnancy complication that affects up to 5% of pregnancies worldwide. Recent studies demonstrate that Vitamin D deficiency is implicated in reduced fetal growth, which may be rescued by supplementation of ...

Adrenarche and Fetal Growth [PDF]
Pediatric Research, 1997 Dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS) is prenatally secreted by the fetal adrenal, is an indicator of adrenarche from late childhood onward and is a marker of the individual hormonal milieu in the adult. The regulation of DHEAS secretion is still poorly understood.

Genetic and Environmental Influences on Fetal Growth Vary during Sensitive Periods in Pregnancy
Scientific Reports, 2018 Aberrant fetal growth is associated with morbidities and mortality during childhood and adult life. Although genetic and environmental factors are known to influence in utero growth, their relative contributions over pregnancy is unknown.

A retrospective segmentation analysis of placental volume by magnetic resonance imaging from first trimester to term gestation [PDF]
, 2018 Background Abnormalities of the placenta affect 5–7% of pregnancies. Because disturbances in fetal growth are often preceded by dysfunction of the placenta or attenuation of its normal expansion, placental health warrants careful surveillance. There are
