(Figure 1). In SGA and FGR placentas, there is evidence of reduced telomerase activity and subsequent telomere shortening that could activate cell senescence and p53 (Figure 2). CONCLUSION: A comprehensive assessment demonstrated accelerated placental aging in both clinical forms of late-onset fetal smallness, supporting a common pathophysiology and challenging the concept of SGA being ‘constitutionally small’.
