Near term gestations complicated with severe preeclampsia presented higher NO levels in fetal circulation, which correlated to ADMA and lower artery VEGF values. More research is warranted to confirm that selected VEGF SNPs may be associated with lower umbilical vein VEGF.

In contrast to elevated 1st trimester levels of IP-10 previously found in the maternal serum of women who later developed preeclampsia, this study found lower umbilical cord IP-10 and ITAC plasma levels in near-term gestations with established severe preeclampsia.
