Preeclampsia InterPregGen Consortium: Large-scale GWAS meta-analysis of maternal preclampsia cases and controls from Europe and Central Asia. Plus extension of earlier European fetal preeclampsia GWAS meta-analysis (see EGAS00001001048) by adding Central Asian fetal preeclampsia cases and controls. Datasets provided under this study are GWAS meta-analysis summary statistics and individual level GWAS genotype data. Related InterPregGen Consortium data are also provided under studies EGAS00001000416 and EGAS00001000417 (whole genome sequence data for 100 unrelated Uzbeks and 100 unrelated Kazakhs) and EGAS00001001048 (European fetal preeclampsia GWAS summary statistics and genotype data

Preeclampsia (PE) is a syndrome affecting pregnant mothers and fetus/babies characterised by hypertension and proteinuria, and is a leading cause of maternal and fetal death and of premature births worldwide. The InterPregGen Consortium was funded by a European Framework 7 (FP7) grant and grew out of the WTCCC3 GWAS comparing ~2000 UK PE mothers with ~6000 common UK controls. The EGAS00001001266 study includes two components the FP7 InterPregGen project: (a) GWAS case-control meta-analysis of maternal PE cases from Europe (UK, Iceland, Norway, Denmark, Finland) and Central Asia (Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan); (b) GWAS case-control meta-analysis of PE fetal (baby) cases from Europe (UK, Iceland, Norway, Denmark) and Central Asia (Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan)
