title: [Association of prostasin gene rs12597511 polymorphism with outcomes of pregnancy with severe preeclampsia].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To assess the association of prostasin gene rs12597511 polymorphism with clinical features and pregnancy outcomes among patients with severe preeclampsia.
  
  
  METHODS
  Clinical manifestations, pregnancy outcomes and the genotypes of 179 patients with severe preeclampsia [early-onset group (≤34 gestational weeks): 79 cases; Late-onset group (>34 gestational weeks): 100 cases] and 222 normal-term pregnant women (control group) were collected.
  
  
  RESULTS
  In the early-onset group, the patients with TC or CC genotype at rs12597511 had higher incidences of total complications, liver dysfunction, neonatal asphyxia, neonatal intracranial hemorrhage and perinatal mortality compared with those with TT genotype (P>0.05). Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that the complication rates of severe preeclampsia patients are closely related to TC or CC genotypes, 24 h urinary protein and gestational weeks of onset (OR=1.049, 95% CI:1.007-1.093, P=0.021; OR=1.031, 95% CI: 0.350-0.883, P=0.013; OR=0.733, 95% CI: 0.566-0.950, P=0.019), and the perinatal mortality is related to gestational weeks at delivery (OR=0.542, 95% CI: 0.331-0.887, P=0.015).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Polymorphism of the prostasin gene is closely associated with poor pregnancy outcomes of early-onset severe preeclampsia.
