    Relationship between multifactorial gene polymorphism and gestational hypertension in Tibetan and Han nationalities in Qinghai

Abstract:

Objective To investigate the relationship between polymorphism of leptin gene promoter region G-2548 A and pregnancy-induced hypertension syndrome(PIH)in Han population of Qinghai Province. Methods  A total of 130 PIH subjects and 135 normal pregnancy subjects were studied. The genotype of leptin was analyzed by polymerase chain reaction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP). The mutation was confirmed by sequencing. Results  The frequencies of leptin GG, GA, and AA genotype in the PIH group were 53.1%, 40% and 6.9%, and in the control group were 60%, 34.1% and 5.9% respectively. There was difference in frequency distribution of leptin genotype between the PIH and control groups. The frequency of G gene in the PIH group was higher than the control group (χ2=4.21,P<0.05,OR=0.66,95%CI=0.45-0.98). Conclusion  Leptin gene G-2548 A is significantly correlated with PIH in Han group of QingHai. G allele may be a susceptible gene to PIH (OR=1.361, 95%CI: 1.01-1.83) and A allele may be a protective gene to PIH (OR=0.901, 95%CI: 0.82-1.00).
