Methods Analyses were based on prospective data in each trimester from 100 women of the low-risk pregnancy cohort study called PRINCE (50 male and female, respectively) Voluson E8 (3-5 MHz transducer) and placental volume calculated using 3D and VOCAL technique Multivariate linear regression models examined cross-sectional the association between metabolic parameters and placental volume Student’s t-test and Mann-WhitneyU test to test for gender differences Conclusion Despite normal HbA1c values, our results indicate a gender specific effect of HbA1c on placental volume and of placental volume on AAWT. This supports evidence of a fetal gender effect on the risk of metabolic perturbations.
