Figure 4. qRT-PCR confirmation of the CNV. qRT-PCR analysis was performed on blood samples in order to quantify candidate CNV. qRT-PCR analysis on blood was performed during pregnancy (pre-pregnancy, first trimester, second trimester, third trimester and after delivery). All results were presented as averages of three independent experiments with three repeats each (mean ± S.E). Statistical significance between groups determined by one-way ANOVA or Wilcoxon test. *p value < 0.05, **p value < 0.01, ***p value < 0.005.
