Background: Despite years of continuous research, maternal mortality due to preeclampsia is still a serious threat. Researchers believe that preeclampsia is a multifactorial disease and proposed many risk factors including immunological factors for it. Given the description of preeclampsia as an excessive response of the immune system, the relationship between preeclampsia and immunological changes is of particular importance. Genetic polymorphisms are considered to be one of the causes of immunological defects. Due to the role of immunologic and inflammatory factors in the etiology of preeclampsia, in the present study, the association of rs1028181-513T/C polymorphism of interleukin 19 gene with preeclampsia in the patient and control groups who were referred to Valiasr hospital in Kazerun, was compared.
Methods: The present case-control study was conducted at Islamic Azad University of Kazerun from December 2016 to May 2017. 150 preeclampsia patients and 150 healthy pregnant women who were referred to Valiasr hospital in Kazerun, were enrolled. Genotypes of participants for the -513T/C (rs1028181) variant were determined by the Tetra Primer ARMS-PCR method. SPSS software and Chi-square statistical test were used for data analysis.
Results: In the position of the -513T/C (rs1028181) polymorphism, a significant difference in frequency of all genotypes (CC, CT and TT) (P=0.001) and both alleles (C and T) (P=0.002) between preeclampsia pregnant women and healthy pregnant women was observed. There was no significant relationship between the other parameters of the study with the mentioned polymorphism in the patient and control groups.
Conclusion: Due to the significant relationship between (rs1028181) -513T/C polymorphism and the occurrence of preeclampsia, which emphasizes the role of genetic predisposition in the development of preeclampsia disease, the presence of this polymorphism can be considered as a predictor of preeclampsia and concluded that polymorphic genetic markers are good predictive strategies for early detection of preeclampsia before the twentieth week of pregnancy.
