Summary Serum cystine aminopeptidase levels and gradients have been assessed retrospectively in hypertensive mothers delivering small‐for‐dates babies, compared with those delivering normal weight babies. The average accuracy of predicting the weight range of the infant (normal or small‐for‐dates) would have been about 82 per cent.
