Polymorphism of MTHFR 1298AC in relation to adverse pregnancy outcomes in Chinese populations

摘要

BackgroundAdverse pregnancy outcomes (APOs) are involved in a series of abnormal pregnancies like embryo growth arrest, spontaneous abortion, premature birth, stillbirth, fetal malformation, birth defects and other pathological pregnancy, and childbirth complications. Polymorphism of methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase gene (MTHFR, 607093) is one of the main genetic causes of APO. However, there is still debate on whether MTHFR 1298A>C, rs1801131, polymorphism is related to APO. For the lack of extensive research in the Chinese population at present, the study aim to investigate the relationship between MTHFR 1298A>C polymorphism with APO through a large number of data.
