“...study demonstrated increased level of VEGF expression mainly in syncytiotrophoblast of the terminal villi in parturient women with moderate COVID-19 to a greater extent than inwomen with mild disease severity. These changes, along with increased number of syncytial knots, also indicate the development of placental hypoxia in parturient women with COVID-19. hypoxia promotes increased production of pro-angiogenic factors by placental cells, in particular, VEGF, which not only regulates proliferation and migration of endotheliocytes, but also contributes to BP elevation in pregnant women.” This evidence concerns the gene VEGFA and COVID-19.
