Abstract excerpt
Although many candidate genes have been studied in pre-eclampsia (PE), the important class of catecholamine receptors that contribute to sympathetic tone and blood pressure regulation has yet to be investigated. We therefore examined the dopamine D4 receptor (DRD4) gene. We performed a prospective family-based study in 50 families (patient and both her parents) who were genotyped for three DRD4 promoter regions....
