By: J. Chung n, S. Tsai n, A. James *, B. Thames*, S. Shytle* & J. Piedrahita n 

author keywords: genomic imprinting; PRIM2; pseudogene; placenta; WBC; SNP; sequencing
MeSH headings : Alleles; DNA Primase / genetics; DNA Primase / metabolism; DNA Replication; Databases, Nucleic Acid; Female; Gene Frequency; Genetic Loci; Genome, Human; Genomic Imprinting; Heterozygote; Humans; Leukocytes / cytology; Leukocytes / enzymology; Molecular Sequence Annotation; Placenta / cytology; Placenta / enzymology; Polymorphism, Single Nucleotide; Pregnancy; Pseudogenes; RNA, Messenger / genetics; RNA, Messenger / metabolism; Transcription, Genetic
TL;DR: It is reported here their failure to confirm imprinting of the PRIM2 locus in human placenta or WBC, and the discordance between results and those of others is likely due to an incorrectly annotatedPRIM2 pseudogene found in the human genome database. (via Semantic Scholar)

2010 journal article

Transcriptional profiling of human placentas from pregnancies complicated by preeclampsia reveals disregulation of sialic acid acetylesterase and immune signalling pathways

PLACENTA, 32(2), 175–182.

By: S. Tsai n, N. Hardison n, A. James *, A. Motsinger-Reif n, S. Bischoff n, B. Thames*, J. Piedrahita n 

author keywords: Placenta; Preeclampsia; Maternal hypertension; Sialic acid acetylesterase
MeSH headings : Acetylesterase / biosynthesis; Antigens, CD / biosynthesis; Endoglin; Female; Genome-Wide Association Study; Humans; Infant, Newborn; Inhibins / biosynthesis; Male; Pre-Eclampsia / etiology; Pre-Eclampsia / metabolism; Pregnancy; Protein Array Analysis; Receptors, Cell Surface / biosynthesis; Trophoblasts / physiology; Up-Regulation; Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Receptor-1 / biosynthesis
TL;DR: Evidence is found of preeclampsia-associated placental upregulation of sialic acid acetylesterase (SIAE), a gene functionally associated with autoimmune diseases, and changes in immune-associated signaling pathways, offering a potential upstream explanation for the shallow trophoblast invasion and inadequate uterine remodeling typically observed in pathogenesis of preeClampsia.
