Studies suggest genetic polymorphisms may increase an individual’s susceptibility to CP. Most findings have yet to be corroborated in an independent cohort. This case-control study is nested within all 334,333 infants ≥ 36 weeks gestation born at Kaiser Permanente Medical Care Program, 1991–2002. We included only non-Hispanic whites who had a neonatal blood sample available. Case patients (N=138) were identified from medical records to have spastic or dyskinetic CP. Controls (N=165) were randomly selected from the population. We genotyped polymorphisms previously associated with CP: inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) -231, apolipoprotein E (apoE) ε2 and ε4 alleles, tumor necrosis factor-α -308, interleukin-8 -251, lymphotoxin 60, endothelial nitric oxide synthase -922, endothelial protein C receptor 219, mannose binding lectin 54 and 52, factor V Leiden, methyltetrahydrofolate reductase 1298 and 667, prothrombin 20210, and platelet activator inhibitor 11053. Similar to previous reports, the iNOS -231 T allele (25.7% vs. 18.9%, P=0.04) and the apoE ε4 allele (19.3% vs. 13.2%, P=0.04) were more common in patients with CP than in controls. However, there was no statistically significant association between any genetic polymorphism and CP after correction for multiple comparisons.
