Abstract excerpt
Currently, only two preeclampsia susceptibility genes (ACVR2A, STOX1) have been identified within confirmed regions with significant genome-wide linkage, although many genetic screens in multiple populations have been performed. In this paper, we focus on the STOX1 gene. The epigenetic status of this gene is discussed explaining the maternal transmission of the STOX1 susceptibility allele observed in preeclamptic...
