1 Jul 2000
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To determine whether genetic variability in biotransformation enzymes contributes to individual differences in susceptibility to preeclampsia or the syndrome of hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, and low platelets (HELLP). METHODS: Polymorphisms in the genes of glutathione S-transferases and cytochrome P-450 1A1 were assessed by polymerase chain reaction in 170 nonpregnant women with a history of...
