Popis: Abstract Background and Aims To evaluate the expression of microRNA 132 (miR‐132) in fetuses with normal growth and in fetuses with late‐onset growth restriction (FGR). Methods In a prospective cohort study, 48 fetuses (24 with late‐onset FGR and 24 with normal growth) were scanned with Doppler ultrasound after 34 weeks to measure the umbilical artery and middle cerebral artery pulsatility indices and followed until birth. Subsequently, blood samples from the umbilical cord were collected to evaluate the expression of miR‐132 by means of Real‐time quantitative polymerase chain reaction, determining the existence of normality cut‐offs and associations with birth weight (BW) centile, cerebroplacental ratio multiples of the median (CPR MoM), and intrapartum fetal compromise (IFC). Results In comparison with normal fetuses, late‐onset FGR fetuses showed upregulation of miR‐132 (33.94 ± 45.04 vs. 2.88 ± 9.32 2−ddCt, p
