Different Polymorphisms of Placental Growth Factor (PLGF) Gene in Iranian Women's Population with Pre-eclampsia

Abstract

Introduction: Preeclampsia is a complication affecting pregnant women worldwide, which leads to maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality. Due to the importance of mutations in the PLGF (Placental Growth Factor) gene and the association with the incidence of preeclampsia, this study aimed to evaluate the association of polymorphisms of the PLGF gene with the prevalence of preeclampsia in Iranian women.
