Abstract
An estimated 50,000 women per year worldwide die from preeclampsia. Preeclampsia is more likely to develop in women whose mothers had preeclampsia than in women whose mothers did not.1 The daughters-in-law of women who had preeclampsia are also somewhat more likely to have preeclampsia than other women. According to data on approximately 1.7 million births in Norway,2 a woman who becomes pregnant by a man who has already had a child with a different woman who had preeclampsia during that pregnancy has a risk of preeclampsia that is nearly twice as high as that of a woman whose partner does . . .Keywords
