Fig. 1

Placental mtDNA fold changes in 4 groups of monochorionic twin pregnancies. The placental mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) fold change was defined as (placental mtDNA content of the sIUGR or smaller fetus) / (placental mtDNA content of the AGA or larger fetus). Statistics are graphically presented as the median (horizontal bar), 25 and 75 percentile (box), and ± 2 standard deviations (whiskers). Means of each group of data are also indicated in numeric figures. Grouping: Group 1: TTTS with sIUGR, Group 2: TTTS without sIUGR, Group 3: No TTTS with sIUGR, Group 4: No TTTS without sIUGR. Abbreviations: TTTS: twin-twin transfusion syndrome, sIUGR: selective intrauterine growth restriction, MC: monochorionic. *: P value < 0.05
