Abstract
AbstractObjectiveFOXP3 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.MethodsEligible 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.ResultsTotally 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.ConclusionsFOXP3 rs3761548 and rs2232365 SNPs influenced the PE susceptibility and therefore may be potential biomarkers for prediction of PE risk.
