Decreased plasma levels of metastin in early pregnancy are associated with small for gestational age neonates

To investigate whether pregnancies with small for gestational age (SGA) neonates, defined as customized birth weight below the 10th centile, are associated with altered levels of metastin in maternal plasma in the first trimester.
