Identification of gene signature markers in gestational hypertension and early-onset pre-eclampsia.

Introduction: Hypertensive disorders in pregnancy (HDP) are the leading cause of perinatal mortality worldwide. Inflammatory responses induced by insufficient placental perfusion have become a focal point in understanding the pathogenesis and aetiology of HDP and developing reliable and consistent biomarkers. Therefore, this study aims to identify gene signatures linked to the pathophysiology of HDP (gestational hypertension and early and late-onset pre-eclampsia).
