Pre-eclampsia and trisomy 13: a possible association.

P A Boyd, R H Lindenbaum, C Redman

    Lancet (London, England)
    |August 22, 1987
    PubMed
    Summary

    Severe pre-eclampsia was observed in nulliparous women with trisomy 13 pregnancies. This suggests a potential genetic link between chromosome 13 and pre-eclampsia development.

    Area of Science:

    • Genetics
    • Maternal-Fetal Medicine
    • Obstetrics

    Background:

    • Trisomy 13 (Patau syndrome) is a severe genetic disorder.
    • Pre-eclampsia is a serious pregnancy complication characterized by high blood pressure.
    • The etiology of pre-eclampsia is complex and not fully understood.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the association between trisomy 13 and the development of pre-eclampsia.
    • To explore potential genetic factors on chromosome 13 influencing pre-eclampsia.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective study comparing pregnancies with trisomy 13 to matched controls.
    • Analysis of pregnancy complications, specifically pre-eclampsia, in women with trisomy 13.
    • Comparison with pregnancies involving trisomy 18 and trisomy 21.

    Main Results:

    • All five nulliparous women who gave birth to babies with trisomy 13 experienced severe pre-eclampsia.
    • None of the matched control group or women with trisomy 18 or trisomy 21 pregnancies developed pre-eclampsia.
    • This indicates a strong correlation between trisomy 13 and severe pre-eclampsia in nulliparous women.

    Conclusions:

    • Fetal genes on chromosome 13 may play a role in the development of pre-eclampsia.
    • Further research is warranted to elucidate the specific genetic mechanisms involved.
    • This finding could have implications for genetic counseling and risk assessment in pregnancy.
