Abstract excerpt
Backgroud: Pre-eclampsia (PE) is a common pregnancy-induced hypertension disease. Some case-control studies reported the association between vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) gene polymorphisms (rs3025039, rs2010963) and PE risk. However, these associations were inconsistent in several studies. Therefore, we conducted this meta-analysis to assess the role of VEGF gene polymorphisms in PE more precisely....
