A regression model using five RNAs selected for ‘pregnancy hypertension’ (preeclampsia and gestational hypertension) yielded good predictive power with an AUC of 0.86, and like the present study, their proposed RNA panel included NAMPT (the remaining markers were MMP8, SRPK1, S100A9, and S100A8). This evidence concerns the gene MMP8 and hypertension, pregnancy-induced.
