Preeclampsia InterPregGen Consortium: GWAS meta-analysis summary statistics for European fetal preeclampsia cases versus controls and GWAS genotype data for European fetal preeclampsia cases

Preeclampsia (PE) is a syndrome affecting pregnant mothers and fetus/babies characterised by hypertension and proteinuria, and is a leading cause of maternal and fetal death and of premature births worldwide. The InterPregGen Consortium was funded by a European Framework 7 (FP7) grant and grew out of the WTCCC3 GWAS comparing ~2000 UK PE mothers with ~6000 common UK controls. The EGAS00001001048 study is a GWAS meta-analysis of UK and Icelandic PE fetal (baby) cases versus controls and is one component of the InterPregGen FP7 project.EGA study EGAS00001001048
