Dr. Melissa Wilson is currently working with the HELLP Syndrome Society studying genetic links between HELLP survivors and their family members.  In speaking with many of the women with HELLP, she and her supervisor, Dr. Marlena Fejzo have noticed that quite a few women have mentioned having suffered from very bad "morning sickness" during their pregnancies and would like to explore whether there is a connection in some subset of HELLP cases!
