Abstract Purpose To explore changes in telomere length (TL) and mitochondrial copy number (mtDNA-CN) in preeclampsia (PE) and to evaluate the combined effect of maternal TL and mtDNA-CN on PE risk. Methods A case-control study of 471 subjects (130 PE cases and 341 age frequency matched controls with...
