Title of project:
The strucuture of the placental chorionic plate vessels and its relationship to childhood retinal microvascular structure
Proposal summary:
Placental size and dimensions are linked to later disease susceptibility especially cardiovascular disease. We have recently identified that an in utero insult is associated with altered vascular structure in the eye. We want to determine if there is a link between the placental vascular development and the development of the vascular system in the eye. It may be possible to predict cardiovascular risk in later life by examining the vascular structure of the placenta
