Interaction between the polymorphisms of the renin-angiotensin system in preeclampsia.

Preeclampsia is considered to be a multifactorial and multisystemic disorder with a genetic predisposition. Alterations in the renin-angiotensin system are considered to play a significant role in the pathogenesis of the disease. In order to investigate the possible association of the three most common polymorphisms of the renin-angiotensin system genes with preeclampsia we have examined 41 women with preeclampsia and 102 normotensive pregnant women.
