Abstract
Objective: Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) are among the most common and serious complications of pregnancy. Persuasive evidence implicaties genetic factors in the genesis of HDP. The aim of the present study was to assess the association between single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the human coagulation factor XI (F11) gene and HDP, by conducting a haplotype-based case-control study. Methods: We chose 3 SNPs (rs925453, rs925451, and rs12500151) in the human F11 gene as genetic markers. We then conducted an association study with 77 HDP patients and 154 age-matched non-HDP subjects. Results: The frequency of rs925453 genotypes significantly differed between the two groups. The frequency of the T-G-G haplotype was significantly higher in the HDP group than in the non-HDP group (p = 0.0002). Conclusions: The T allele of rs925453 and the T-G-G haplotype appear to be useful genetic markers of HDP.Keywords
