Abstract

It has been hypothesised that paraoxonase genes would be related to adverse pregnancy outcomes, via a maternal or fetal effect on placental hypoperfusion and thrombosis. To date only two studies have assessed this possibility. In this study we assessed the associations of the PON1 Q192R polymorphism with self-report of having pregnancy-induced hypertension, gestational hyperglycaemia and a preterm offspring birth. The associations were assessed in 3266 white women who were randomly selected from 23 British towns. There was no association between PON1 Q192R and either self-report of pregnancy-induced hypertension or gestational hyperglycaemia but the prevalence of reporting having a preterm birth increased with each R allele: per allele odds ratio 1.20 [95% confidence interval (CI) 1.03, 1.41]. When our results were pooled with the one previous study of the association of this polymorphism with preterm birth, the pooled per allele odds ratio was 1.19 [95% CI 1.02, 1.39]. Our findings provide some further evidence to suggest that PON1 Q192R is associated with preterm birth; they invite further investigation of both maternal and fetal genotype for PON1 Q192R in relation to preterm birth.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
