Decreased expression of fibroblast growth factor 13 in early-onset preeclampsia is associated with the increased trophoblast permeability

Intracellular protein fibroblast growth factor 13 (FGF13) is highly expressed in human placenta, although its biological function remains unexplored. The aims of this study were to investigate the expression of FGF13 in placentae with early-onset preeclampsia (PE) and the associated mechanisms in the pathophysiology of PE.
