Elevated C-reactive protein levels during first trimester of pregnancy are indicative of preeclampsia and intrauterine growth restriction
May Lee Tjoa,J. M. G. van Vugt,Attie T. J. J. Go,Marinus A. Blankenstein,Cees B.M. Oudejans,I.J. van Wijk +5 more
TL;DR: It is shown that in a low-risk population, CRP levels are already elevated between weeks 10 and 14 in pregnant women who develop preeclampsia or deliver a growth-restricted baby.

Plasma placenta growth factor levels in midtrimester pregnancies.
May Lee Tjoa,J. M. G. van Vugt,Monique A.M. Mulders,R B Schutgens,C.B.M. Oudejans,I.J. van Wijk +5 more
TL;DR: The results show that plasma placenta growth factor levels are decreased before preeclampsia is clinically evident, and suggest that placentA growth factor may be useful to determine the relative risk of developing preeClampsia and intrauterine growth restriction.

Detection of Apoptotic Fetal Cells in Plasma of Pregnant Women
Inge J. van Wijk,Anneke C. de Hoon,Rishma Jurhawan,May Lee Tjoa,Sandra Griffioen,Monique A.M. Mulders,John M.G. van Vugt,Cees B.M. Oudejans +7 more
TL;DR: It is explored the possibility that not all of this fetal DNA in plasma of pregnant women is soluble and cell-free, but that part of it is still cell-associated.

Markers for presymptomatic prediction of preeclampsia and intrauterine growth restriction.
TL;DR: Molecules associated with the establishment of the placenta and essential in fetal–maternal interactions seem to be the most likely candidates for presymptomatic markers for preeclampsia and/or intrauterine growth restriction.

Circulating trophoblast in maternal blood.
Cees B.M. Oudejans,May Lee Tjoa,Bart A. Westerman,Monique A.M. Mulders,Inge J. van Wijk,John M. G. van Vugt +5 more
TL;DR: This review describes the status of circulating trophoblast, but is considered in the perspective that only a specific subset of trophoplast cells circulates in the maternal blood.
