      The researchers used this information to develop condition risk scores, which they tested against genetic samples from 33,433 pregnant women, some of whom had been diagnosed with pre-eclampsia or hypertension. WHY some people develop high blood pressure or pre-eclampsia during pregnancy isn't entirely understood. [Extracted from the article]
