Maternal diabetes is associated with higher ASH rates in LGA infants; leaves open need for targeted screening or follow-up.
Does maternal diabetes increase the frequency of asymmetrical septal hypertrophy in large-for-gestational-age newborn infants?
Asymmetrical septal hypertrophy is significantly more common in large-for-gestational-age infants of diabetic mothers compared to those of nondiabetic mothers, though it does not correlate with maternal HbA1c levels.
Vela-Huerta et al. (2000) studied this question.
