This study was undertaken to determine whether the interleukin-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1RN) variable number tandem repeat polymorphism is associated with preterm birth.
A case-control study was performed. Cases (n = 95) delivered before 37 weeks after preterm labor (PTL) or preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM) and controls (n = 105) delivered after 37 weeks. Maternal DNA was genotyped by polymerase chain reaction for a length polymorphism in intron 2 of the IL-1RN gene.
There was no significant difference in maternal age, ethnicity, insurance status, or parity between groups. Allele and genotype frequencies did not differ significantly from that expected under Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (P = .59) in the total group as well as study groups. Of the 95 cases, 26.8% had at least 1 copy of allele 2 present compared with 12.4% in the control group (P < .0004).
Maternal carriage of at least 1 copy of the IL-1RN allele 2 appears to be associated with increased risk of preterm birth.
本研究旨在确定白细胞介素-1受体拮抗剂(IL-1RN)可变数目串联重复多态性是否与早产相关。
进行了一项病例对照研究。病例组(n = 95)为在早产(PTL)或胎膜早破(PPROM)后37周前分娩的产妇,对照组(n = 105)为在37周后分娩的产妇。通过聚合酶链反应对产妇DNA进行基因分型,以检测IL-1RN基因第2内含子的长度多态性。
两组间产妇年龄、种族、保险状况或产次无显著差异。在总样本以及各研究组中,等位基因和基因型频率与哈迪-温伯格平衡预期值相比无显著差异(P = 0.59)。95例病例中,26.8%至少有1份等位基因2,而对照组为12.4%(P < 0.0004)。
产妇携带至少1份IL-1RN等位基因2似乎与早产风险增加相关。
