Polymorphisms and plasma level of transforming growth factor-Beta 1 and risk for preeclampsia: a systematic review.

Of them, two studies reported PE risk according to upper quartile versus lower quartile of third-trimester plasma TGF-β 1 (OR = 7.2, 95% CI [2.2, 23.8] and OR = 2.5, 95% CI [1.2, 5.6]); In the study reporting the after-delivery plasma TGF-β 1 level [21] , maternal plasma TGF-beta 1 concentrations were higher in cases than in controls, falls just short of standard levels of statistical significance (23.2±1.3 versus 20.3±1.0 ng/ml, p = 0.06; OR = 2.5, 95% CI [1.2, 5.6], upper quartile versus lower quartile).
