Abstract excerpt
We determined whether the polymorphism of the gene encoding adiponectin contributes to susceptibility to preeclampsia.

All women were genotyped for two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), SNP45 in exon 2 and SNP276 in intron 2, in the adiponectin gene. Chi2 analysis was used to assess genotype and allele frequency...
