Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is relevant for normal pregnancy, and abnormalities in VEGF functions are associated with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy. Because there are few studies on how VEGF genetic polymorphisms affect susceptibility to pre-eclampsia (PE), and no studies on how they affect susceptibility to gestational hypertension (GH), we compared VEGF genotype and haplotype distributions in normotensive and hypertensive pregnancies.
