Abstract:

Objective  To investigate the relationship between preeclampsia (PE) and polymorphism of aldosterone synthase gene (CYP11B2) promoter region-344T/C in Qinghai Province.    Methods  A total of 120 PE subjects and 155 normal pregnancy subjects were studied. The genotype of CYP11B2 was analyzed by polymerase chain reaction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP).The mutation was confirmed by sequencing.    Results  The frequencies of CYP11B2 TT, CT and CC genotype in the PE group were 43.0%, 45.6%, and 11.4%, and in the control group were 51.0%, 45.1%, and 3.9%, respectively. There was difference in frequency distribution of CYP11B2 genotype between the PE and control groups.The frequency of C allele in the PE group was higher than the control group(χ2=4.354,P<0.05, OR=0.691, 95% CI=0.49-0.98).    Conclusion  The CYP11B2-344T/C polymorphism is related to preeclampsia in Qinghai Province, and the C allele may be a susceptibility gene of preeclampsia.
