To investigate the association of the gene polymorphisms of: angiotensinogen (AGT), renin (REN), angiotensin II receptor 1 (AT1R) and angiotensin II receptor 2 (AT2R), in the pathogenesis of PE in South African Black women.
METHODOLOGY (STUDY DESIGN): 603 pregnant women; 246 normotensive and 357 with PE (early-onset=187, late-onset=170), were recruited. Each study group was subdivided into HIV infected and uninfected groups. The distribution and frequencies of gene polymorphisms of AGT (M235T), REN (C-5312T), AT1R (A1166C) and AT2R (C3123A) were determined in purified DNA by Real Time Polymerase Chain Reaction.
The distribution of T allele and TT genotype of AGT in PE were significantly higher than the normotensive group (95% vs 91%, OR 1.9, 95%CI 1.2-3.1, p=0.0051; 90% vs 83%, OR 1.84, 95%CI 1.11-3.05, p=0.01) respectively. The distributions of genotypes of REN, AT1R and AT2R were similar in PE and normotensive groups.
The T allele of AGT may play a role in the pathogenesis of PE. The genotypes of REN, AT1R and AT2R were not associated with the development of PE.
研究血管紧张素原(AGT)、肾素(REN)、血管紧张素II受体1(AT1R)和血管紧张素II受体2(AT2R)的基因多态性与南非黑人女性先兆子痫发病机制之间的关联。
方法(研究设计):招募了603名孕妇,其中246名血压正常,357名患有先兆子痫(早发型=187例,晚发型=170例)。每个研究组又分为感染HIV和未感染HIV的组。通过实时聚合酶链反应在纯化的DNA中测定AGT(M235T)、REN(C-5312T)、AT1R(A1166C)和AT2R(C3123A)基因多态性的分布和频率。
先兆子痫组中AGT的T等位基因和TT基因型的分布显著高于血压正常组(分别为95%对91%,比值比1.9,95%置信区间1.2 - 3.1,p = 0.0051;90%对83%,比值比1.84,95%置信区间1.11 - 3.05,p = 0.01)。先兆子痫组和血压正常组中REN、AT1R和AT2R的基因型分布相似。
AGT的T等位基因可能在先兆子痫的发病机制中起作用。REN、AT1R和AT2R的基因型与先兆子痫的发生无关。
