Abstract: Background: Preeclampsia, a pregnancy related complication is a very common occurrence affecting 4.6% of pregnancies worldwide and 1.8-16.7% of pregnancies in developing countries. There are several risk factors for it’s development including MTHFR C677T polymorphism. Hence, we planned to study the prevalence of MTHFR C677T polymorphism in preeclampsia.
Methods: A total of 156 pregnant women......
Keywords: pre-eclampsia, MTHFRC677T, PCR-RFLP, mutation, homozygous
