- Abstract
Objective: FOXP3 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were recently elucidated to influence the development of preeclampsia (PE), but the results on this issue still remained controversial. Thus, a meta-analysis was implemented to systematically investigate the roles of FOXP3 SNPs in PE., Methods: Eligible publications were identified by retrieving relevant electronic databases. Meanwhile, the association intensity was estimated by calculating odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) in various genetic models., Results: Totally eight investigations involving 3446 subjects were enrolled in the final meta-analysis. The AC and AC + CC genotypes of FOXP3 rs3761548 were related to the susceptibility of PE in over-dominant (OR = 1.19, 95%CI = 1.02-1.38, P = 0.03) and recessive (OR = 0.59, 95% CI: 0.36-0.97, P = 0.04) models. Furthermore, correlation between rs2232365 and PE was observed in recessive model (GG vs. GA + AA) (OR = 0.79, 95%CI: 0.65-0.97, P = 0.03). Moreover, rs2232365 GA and GG + GA genotypes were associated with the severity of PE. However, rs4824747, rs3761547 and rs2280883 polymorphisms had no significant impact on PE susceptibility., Conclusions: FOXP3 rs3761548 and rs2232365 SNPs influenced the PE susceptibility and therefore may be potential biomarkers for prediction of PE risk., (© 2022 John Wiley & Sons A/S.
