Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Interleukin 1 receptor type 2 (IL1R2) regulates the inflammatory pathway that results in preterm delivery. We aim to investigate the impact of IL1R2 gene polymorphisms on the risk of preterm delivery. METHOD: A total of 664 women with spontaneous preterm and term deliveries were genotyped for IL1R2 gene polymorphisms (rs2072476A/G, rs2071008G/T, rs2072474C/T) using Sequenom MassARRAY platform. RESULTS:...
