Decreased placental miR-126 expression and vascular endothelial growth factor levels in patients with pre-eclampsia

Conclusions miR-126 was downregulated in placentas from patients with pre-eclampsia and this correlated with decreased VEGF expression. These findings indicate that miRNA-126 may be involved in pre-eclampsia pathogenesis and could be a potential biomarker for this disease.
