Accumulating evidence suggests that an excessive maternal systemic inflammatory response to pregnancy with exaggerated activation of the innate immune system plays a critical role in the development of preeclampsia (PE). In this study, we investigated whether polymorphisms in the Toll-like receptor 3 (TLR3) gene are associated with susceptibility to PE in the Chinese Han population.
