Pooled cases/controls.

a

Cases were grouped according severity: PE (n = 92) and eclampsia (n = 73).

b

Studied population was grouped according to skin color (white and non-white); white: PE (n = 56) and control (n = 92); non-white: PE (n = 95) and control (n = 97).

c

Cases were compared to healthy pregnant (n = 107) and non-pregnant women (n = 58).

d

Cases correspond to PE (n = 208) and gestational hypertension (GH) cases (n = 181).

e

Cases were grouped according to disorder severity and response to anti-hypertensive therapy: PE responsive (n = 60) and non-responsive (n = 145); GH responsive (n = 120) and non-responsive (n = 54).

f

Cases were grouped in PE (n = 70) and GH (n = 115).
