Figures & data
The correlation between the chronological and DNA methylation gestational age of each placenta in the (A) training dataset and the (B) validation dataset. (C) A heatmap visualizing the gradual changes in DNA methylation in each of the 62 CpG sites (rows) across gestation in all samples (columns). The samples have been ordered by increasing gestational age and the probes have been ordered by the increasing magnitude of correlation with gestational age. The dataset heatmap represents the origin of each sample.

Placentas from pregnancies complicated by early-onset PE (A) show a higher DNAm GA compared with their Chron GA. (B) Placentas from late-onset PE do not show any difference between the chronological and DNA methylation gestational age. Error bars are represented as standard deviations.
Chron GA: Chronological gestational age; DNAm GA: DNA methylation gestational age.
