The intention of this paper is to give an overview of
the scientific activity in the Norwegian Mother and
Child Cohort Study (MoBa) as it relates to investigations
of pre-eclampsia, and to discuss future avenues
of research. MoBa is a large pregnancy cohort with a
built-in family design. The cohort is described in detail
in preceding papers in this issue, and information is
also available on www.fhi.no/moba.
