Novel Association Between FOXO3 rs2232365 Polymorphism and Late-Onset Preeclampsia: A Case-Control Candidate Genetic Study
Background
Both genetic susceptibility and dysregulated lipid metabolism are important susceptibilities to preeclampsia. In the study, we devote to investigate the associations of FOXO3 and TLR7 genetic polymorphisms with preeclampsia in a Chinese population.
Methods
This case-control study involved 335 Han Chinese pregnant women, including 177 pregnant women with preeclampsia and 158 healthy controls. The preeclampsia group was further sub-grouped into early-onset preeclampsia (EOPE, n=70)and late-onset preeclampsia (LOPE, n=107). Three single nucleotide polymorphisms SNPs , including FOXO3 rs2232365, rs3761548, and TLR7 rs3853839 were genotyped by multiplex PCR for targeted next-generation sequencing. The χ2 test and multiple interaction effect analyses were performed to determine the association of three SNPs with serum lipid levels and thyroid function in women with preeclampsia.
Results
Our study showed that SNP rs2232365 C allele frequencies were significantly associated with the occurrence of LOPE (P=0.022, odds ratio = 1.72 (0.95 CI: 1.23-2.41)). The genotype (CC vs TT+CT) distribution of rs2232365 revealed a significant association with LOPE (P=0.004, odds ratio = 3.497 (0.95 CI: 1.498-8.164)). No significant difference was found in the genotype and allele frequencies of rs3761548 and rs3853839 between controls and cases (P>0.05). Moreover, the genotype CC of rs2232365 was significantly correlated with increased TG/HDL levels in the LOPE group (all p=0.014).
Conclusions
The polymorphisms of rs2232365 are associated with the risk of LOPE and may modulate TG/HDL levels in pregnant women with LOPE.
