Investigation of genetic risk factors for chronic adult diseases for association with preterm birth
AssociationN=1,792Nadia Falah et al.(2013)· Human Genetics

Case-control study of 673 preterm birth (PTB) cases vs 1,119 controls across four maternal cohorts testing 35 SNPs in cardiovascular, inflammatory, and metabolic disease genes. Found 13 statistically significant associations with PTB (P<0.05), more than expected by chance (binomial P=0.02). Most significant was HLA-DQA1 rs9272346 G allele protective effect in US White mothers (P=0.02, OR=0.65, 95% CI 0.46-0.94), which nominally replicated in Danish cohort (P=0.02, OR=0.85, 95% CI 0.75-0.97) but lost significance after correction for multiple testing.

About CETP

The protein encoded by this gene is found in plasma, where it is involved in the transfer of cholesteryl ester from high density lipoprotein (HDL) to other lipoproteins. Defects in this gene are a cause of hyperalphalipoproteinemia 1 (HALP1). Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2013]
