Pregnancy increases the risk of thrombosis. Placenta-mediated diseases are a risk factor for cardiovascular pathologies and can lead to maternal-fetal morbidity and mortality. It is essential to understand the cellular and molecular mechanisms of dysfunctions at the vascular-placental interface so that systemic vascular risk can be characterized and, ultimately, screened for, on the basis of new markers (targeted preventive management). Deregulated autophagy could be the starting point for cell death by apoptosis or necrosis leading to complications. The pathophysiological mechanisms involved in trophoblast apoptosis are incompletely described. This project follows on from the GrossAuTop-1 study, which investigated the intra- and inter-individual variability of autophagy and apoptosis activities in women during pregnancy. The aim of this project is to study autophagy and apoptosis activities specifically in women developing a placental vascular complication during pregnancy.

Pregnant adult women developing placental vascular complications such as preeclampsia and/or intrauterine growth retardation, hospitalized and delivering at Nimes University Hospital.
16 blood samples (16 tubes, i.e. 55.3 ml) will be taken at inclusion. Pregnant women will be seen every month as part of their pregnancy follow-up, and blood (11 tubes, i.e. 35.5 ml) and urine samples will be taken at each follow-up visit. At delivery, a systematic blood sample will be taken as part of the usual care, and an additional 11 tubes of blood (35.5 ml) will be taken.
Urine samples will be taken at the inclusion visit and at each follow-up visit.
An initial analysis of the data will make it possible to describe the population. Quantitative variables will be expressed as mean and standard deviation, or median and quartiles. Qualitative variables will be expressed in headcount and percentage.

A biobank (plasmabank, serum bank, mononuclear cells) will be set up for ancillary studies on other markers of placental vascular pathologies and venous thromboembolic disease.
