A tag SNP in syncytin-2 3-UTR significantly correlates with the risk of severe preeclampsia

Conclusions These results suggested that genetic predisposition in ERVFRDE-1 may be associated with an increased risk of preeclampsia. This polymorphism is possibly involved in the regulation of syncytin-2 expression in preeclamptic placenta.
