Abstract

Preeclampsia (PE) is an excessive systemic inflammation response with dysfunction of endothelial. Our study was to investigate the association between genetic variations in IL-1 and the susceptibility to PE in Chinese Han population. 402 PE patients and 554 normal pregnant women of third trimester were enrolled. The polymorphisms of rs315952 in IL1RN and rs17561 in IL1A were genotyped by TaqMan allelic discrimination real-time PCR. Obviously statistic difference of the genotypic frequencies were found in both of IL1RN rs315952 and IL1A rs17561 between cases and controls (for rs315952, P = 0.001; for rs17561, P = 0.021.). For rs315952, the C allele was associated with development of PE (P = 0.003, OR = 1.319, 95%CI 1.099-1.583). Patients with CC or CT genotype were less likely to develop severe PE than patients carrying TT genotype(P < 0.001, OR = 0.24, 95%CI 0.15-0.40). For rs17561, the C allele was the risk factor for predisposition to PE (P = 0.012, OR = 1.496, 95%CI 1.089-2.055). Our results suggest IL1RN and IL1A may involve in the development of PE in Chinese Han population.
