Novel associations between KCNQ1 rs231840 polymorphism and preeclampsia in Chinese gestational women: A case-control candidate genetic study.

Abstract excerpt

Preeclampsia is a complex disorder with genetic and environmental interactions. In this study, we analyzed the associations of KCNQ1gene polymorphisms with preeclampsia in Chinese pregnant women. The 3 candidate single-nucleotide polymorphisms rs231840, rs2237892, and rs2237895 were genotyped in this case-control study; clinical and biochemical data were included and SNPs were gathered from 248 individuals with...
