Figure 2. Expression of preeclampsia-specific genes in human and mouse placenta versus mean expression in other organs.

Degree of gene overexpression in placenta compared to other normal tissue in human (GSE95²⁴) and mouse (GSE97²⁴) datasets. Figure also depicts comparison of the ratio of expression of each selected gene in placenta versus all other normal tissue between human (GSE95²⁴) and mouse (GSE97²⁴) datasets. Genes used in this comparison were selected from among those identified through meta-analysis of preeclampsia case-control studies (Figure 1, Panel (a)). Y-axis represents the ratio of expression of each gene. Red bars indicate human and blue bars mouse genes.
