HLA and preeclampsia

Description 
In collaboration with a Maternal-Fetal Medicine colleague from the United States who has been working on the role of Human Leukocyte Antigens (HLA) in the pathophysiology of pre-eclampsia, we plan to analyse HLA markers on first and second trimester plasma samples of women who developed pre-eclampsia later in their pregnancies and controls (using samples from our biobank, blinded to outcomes).
