ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Preeclampsia (PE) is a common pregnancy complication and one of the main causes of maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality, worldwide. While the pathogenesis of PE is unclear, it has been suggested that hypercoagulability due to Factor V Leiden (FVL) and prothrombin gene mutation (FII G20210A) play a role in its progression.PURPOSE:
This study aimed to determine if there is an association between FVL and FII G20210A mutations and severe PE. PATIENTS ANDMETHODS:
This case-control study enrolled 50 women with severe PE and 50 healthy pregnant women as the control, at Khartoum North Teaching Hospital, in Khartoum State, Sudan, from January 2017 to June 2017. The presence of point mutations in FVL and FII G20210A were determined for each of the participants. Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) was extracted, and then an allele-specific polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used to detect the point mutations in FVL and FII G20210A.RESULTS:
The results revealed a significant difference between the subjects in the severe PE group and the control group for the means of parity, gestational age/ week and hemoglobin concentration (P < 0.05). No statistically significant body mass index (BMI) differences were found between the groups (P > 0.05). Women with severe PE were found to have a significant difference in FVL (16%; P value = 0.0058; OR 20.20; 95%CI 1.132-360.5) and FII G20210A (14%; P value = 0.0125; OR 17.41; 95%CI 0.9659-314.0) in comparison to the women in the control group (0%).CONCLUSION:
Our ï¬ndings intensely indicate that there is a statistically proven significant association between FVL, FII G20210A mutations and the development of severe preeclampsia in Sudanese pregnant women.Palabras clave
