Additionally, Taqman RT-qPCR analysis showed a trend for an increased expression of the Complement Component 3 (C3 ) gene, concordant with the RNA-Seq dataset (fc = 3.57, P = 0.162; Supplementary Fig.

However, this outcome did not reach statistical significance possibly due to differences in the study material composition (RNA-Seq: microdissected chorionic villi; Taqman RT-qPCR: placental samples comprised of variable cell types).
The two seminal studies using gene expression microarray profiling of placental samples from RPL cases detected no differentially expressed genes with highly significant statistical support.
