For a general phenotypic description and a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of preeclampsia, see PEE1 (189800).
Hypothesizing that the genetic background of preeclampsia might show reduced heterogeneity in a founder population such as that of the Kainuu province in central eastern Finland, Laivuori et al. (2003) performed a genomewide scan in 15 multiplex families in that area. They found 2 loci that exceeded the threshold for significant linkage: 2p25, at 21.70 cM (PEE2; 609402), and 9p13 (PEE3), at 38.90 cM.
