  • Studies to identify maternal variants associated with preeclampsia have been limited by sample size. Here, the authors meta-analyze eight GWAS of 9,515 preeclamptic women, identifying five variants associated with preeclampsia and showing that genetic predisposition to hypertension is a major risk factor for preeclampsia.

  • Ralph McGinnis, Valgerdur Steinthorsdottir, Linda Morgan and colleagues perform a genome-wide association study in the offspring of preeclampsia pregnancies and identify variants in the fetal genome near FLT1 that are associated with risk of preeclampsia. FLT1 is known to encode an isoform of placental origin implicated in the pathology of preeclampsia, providing biological support for the association of this locus with preeclampsia risk.
