OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether pre-eclampsia in Curaçao is associated with the Duffy negative phenotype. DESIGN: Retrospective study. RESULTS: Women with a history of pre-eclampsia had a higher Duffy negative phenotype frequency compared with women with a history of uncomplicated pregnancies (52.8 vs 27.3%, respectively; odds ratio 2.98; 95% CI 1.40-6.32; P = 0.004). CONCLUSIONS: Pre-eclampsia is associated with the Duffy negative phenotype in women of West-African descent in the island of Curaçao.
