Clinical characteristics of the cohort used in the gene expression analysis.

	Pre-eclampsia (n = 13)	FGRa (n = 9)	Pre-eclampsia with FGR (n = 24)	Controls (n = 58)
Maternal age (years)	30 ± 5*	34 ± 4	31 ± 5	31 ± 5
Gestational age (weeks)	35 ± 3**	32 ± 5**	30 ± 4**	39 ± 1
Systolic blood pressure (mmHg)	153 ± 18**	128 ± 15	151 ± 16**	116 ± 11
Diastolic blood pressure (mmHg)	95 ± 9**	74 ± 8	97 ± 12*	70 ± 9
Birthweight (g)	2364 ± 510**	1225 ± 21**	1118 ± 470**	3619 ± 469

Data are presented as mean ± SD. All case groups were compared with controls and P-values were computed based on t-test statistics.

^a≤2 SD of expected weight, confirmed by at least one of the following: reduced fundal height in serial measurements, serial ultrasound biometry identifying failure to grow along a consistent centile or abnormal umbilical artery wave form.

*P < 0.05; **P < 0.001.
