To investigate whether expression of genes targeted by miR-206 differed in preeclampsia, the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) and neurogenic locus notch homolog 3 (NOTCH-3) was also measured in the same placental tissue (Fig. 2b). Here, VEGFA is linked to preeclampsia.
