Abstract

In this research first applied evolutionary approach to study of the PE genetics architecture via the regulatory polymorphic variants (rSNPs) of differentially expressed genes (DEG), identified by analysis of the transcriptome in placental tissue. The results demonstrate а significant role of 10 rSNP 8 DEG and their adaptive changes at the macroevolutionary and/or microevolutionary level in the formation of hereditary predisposition to PE in Russians and Yakuts.
