So when pregnant women have sleep apnea, which is where you hold your breath in your sleep, so it's kind of you can think of it as unintentional diving through pregnancy.

they tend to develop these blood pressure related complications.

So like preeclampsia, they call them hypertensive disorders of pregnancy. And so we think that, there's no studies that have shown this yet, but we think that if you're diving, different kind of apnea through pregnancy, that would also increase your risk for these disorders.

And so what we saw was that there was a genetic variant that was actually driving their, like a lowering of their diastolic blood pressure while they were diving.
