Among a total of 754 miRNAs analyzed, the presence of 63 miRNAs (8%) was consistently documented in the sera from preeclampsia and control samples. Nevertheless, only 15 amplified miRNAs (2%) seemed to be differentially, although modestly, represented (fold change range: 0.4-1.4). After stem loop RT-qPCR from individual samples, the statistical analysis confirmed that none of the most consistent and differentially represented miRNAs (3 overrepresented and 4 underrepresented) were differentially abundant in serum from preeclamptic pregnancies compared with serum from normal pregnancies. Therefore, maternal serum miRNA assessment at first-trimester of pregnancy does not appear to have any predictive value for early preeclampsia.application/pdfengcc-by (c) Luque Gómez, Ana et al., 2014http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/esHipertensió en l'embaràsMicro RNAsHypertension in pregnancyMicroRNAsinfo:eu-repo/semantics/article6778342018-11-08info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess24811064
