                                 Background: Pre-eclampsia (PE) is a fatal disease for both  mother and fetus diagnosed by criteria of ACOG 2017. Gene polymorphisms as  renalase gene rs10887800 and rs2576178 are proposed for early prediction and  prognosis of PE. This study aimed at assessing the relation between renalase  gene polymorphism and development of PE as well as the severity of the disease.
Subjects and Methods: This case-control  study included 40females (group I) with PE further subdivided into group Ia 20  non severe PE, group Ib 20 severe PE and group II 20 healthy controls. Renalase  gene polymorphisms assessed by PCR-RFLP and confirmed by gene sequencing.
Results: Our results found Renalase rs10887800  homozygous GG& heterozygous AG genotype in 67.5% of PE females compared  with 20% in controls, while AA(wild genotype) was found&n.. Read More»
