Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether IL-12B rs3212227 was associated with susceptibility to PE (preeclampsia) in Chinese Han women. METHODS: We enrolled 1000 PE patients and 1287 controls and performed rs3212227 genotyping by PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism. RESULTS: No significant differences in genetic distributions of IL-12B rs3212227 were observed between cases and controls (χ(2) = 4.62, p = 0.10 by...
