Role of hsa-miR-325 in the etiopathology of preeclampsia.

Preeclampsia (PE) is a common pregnancy-specific syndrome characterized by hypertension and proteinuria. Evidence has demonstrated that hypertensive disorders in pregnancy are associated with alterations in the expression of different microRNAs (miRNAs). miRNAs are endogenously expressed non-coding RNAs that have significant biological and pathological functions due to their potential mechanisms of regulation of gene expression.
