Association of Angiotensinogen Gene Polymorphisms and Angiogenic Factors with Preeclampsia in Chinese Women

Abstract

Our study showed that AGT M235T polymorphism is associated with PE in Chinese women. Furthermore, the gene polymorphism of the components of the renin-angiotensin system may contribute to the concentration alterations of sFlt1, VEGF, and PlGF in maternal serum, which causes disordered vasculogenesis contributing to PE.
