Association Study between Proinflammatory Cytokine Gene Polymorphism and Risk of Recurrent Spontaneous Abortion

Abstract

To investigate the correlation between inflammatory cytokine gene polymorphisms and the risk of recurrent miscarriage. A total of 120 patients with recurrent spontaneous abortion in our hospital between January 2019 and December 2020 were selected as the recurrent spontaneous abortion group and 120 healthy pregnant women with early pregnancy who visited the hospital during the same period were used as the control group and the genotype of interleukin-18 was detected by single nucleotide polymorphism typing technique and the validation method was Hardy Weinberg’s law of genetic equilibrium was used to verify the genotype of interleukin-18 and the relationship between interleukin-18 genotype and the risk of recurrent spontaneous abortion was analyzed by logistic method. The results showed that the level of interleukin-18 in the recurrent spontaneous abortion group was significantly higher than that in the control group (p 0.05); the interleukin-18 (rs1946519) and interleukin- 18(rs360717) in the control group The actual genotype frequencies of interleukin-18(rs1946519) and interleukin-18 (rs360717) in the control group were also not significantly different from the theoretical values (test values were 0.474 and 0.153, p>0.05); the genotypes of the rs1946519 and rs360717 loci showed significant differences and the recurrent spontaneous abortion group had significantly more A alleles than the control group (p<0.05); rs1946519 and rs360717 locus mutant cases showed significant differences in serum interleukin-17 levels, with AA and TT genotypes showing higher concentrations than other genotypes, respectively (p<0.05); the relative risk of recurrent spontaneous abortion risk in rs1946519 AG and AA gene carriers was 2.468 and 2.468 times higher than that of the GG allele, respectively. The relative risk of recurrent spontaneous abortion in rs360717 TC and TT gene carriers was 1.973 and 1.545 times higher than that of CC allele, respectively and all of them had higher risk of recurrent spontaneous abortion (p<0.05). The rs1946519 polymorphic allele G and rs360717 allele C mutations of interleukin-18 affect the serum hormone levels of patients and lead to an increased risk of recurrent spontaneous abortion in pregnant women. Therefore, interleukin-18 gene polymorphisms may be an important basis for the pathogenesis of recurrent spontaneous abortion and its treatment.
