Expression profile of trophoblast invasion-associated genes in the pre-eclamptic placenta
1 Jan 2003
Abstract excerpt
The primary pathology of pre-eclampsia is thought be a defect in placentation due to failure of trophoblast invasion. Here, we aim to identify the expression profile of invasion-associated genes in the pre-eclamptic placenta. Messenger RNA (mRNA) expression levels of extracellular matrix molecule-related genes in five pre-eclamptic placentas and in five strictly matched normal placentas were assayed using...
