A B S T R A C TIntroduction. Preeclampsia is one of the leading causes of maternal and perinatalmorbidity and mortality and is still a disease of theory. Klotho is a new gene, inseveral biological processes in the pathophysiology of preeclampsia that play a rolein regulating endothelial nitric oxide production, angiogenesis, production ofantioxidant enzymes and protection against endothelial dysfunction. The Klotho G-395A genotype AA promoter polymorphism is the cause of hypertension. This studyaims to determine the relationship of the Klotho G-395A promoter polymorphism tothe incidence of preeclampsia. Methods. This study is an analytical study with acase-control design. The research was conducted at Pembina community healthcentre of Palembang and the public hospital of Prabumulih in February - July 2020and involving 50 case group and 50 control group. To determine the genotype andallotype of the Klotho G-395A gene promoter polymorphism, using polymerase chainreaction examination. Result. The results showed that the risk factors for maternalage and maternal gestational age had a significant relationship with the incidence ofpreeclampsia (p-value 0.015; p-value 0.000). There was a significant relationshipbetween the Klotho G-395A genotype GA + AA promoter polymorphism and theincidence of preeclampsia (p-value 0.024; OR = 2.571; 95% CI = 1.122-5.895), whileallotypes in the study sample also had a significant relationship with the incidenceof preeclampsia. preeclampsia (p-value 0.025; OR = 1.978; 95% CI = 1.087-3.599).Conclusion: There is a significant relationship between the Klotho G-395A genepromoter polymorphism and the incidence of preeclampsia.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
