Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: SNP rs2200733 located near PITX2 gene is associated with the risk of atrial fibrillation. Preeclamptic women are at increased risk of developing cardiovascular disease like atrial fibrillation. Whether this translates into an association between SNP rs2200733 and preeclampsia is not known. Therefore, we determined the association of SNP rs2200733 (C/T) with the risk of preeclampsia. STUDY DESIGN: A...
