Abstract excerpt
Preeclampsia (PE) is a relatively common but severe pregnancy disorder (with very limited effective treatments) characterized by hypertension (HTN) and usually proteinuria (PRO) or other organ damage. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of PE, HTN, and PRO have mostly identified risk loci single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) located in noncoding genomic regions, likely impacting the regulation of distal gene...
