Association of cyclooxygenase-2 and interleukin-1 receptor antagonist gene polymorphisms with the time interval between labor induction and delivery. Academic Article uri icon

Overview

abstract

  • OBJECTIVE: The interval between induction and delivery may change in association with different polymorphisms in genes regulating inflammation. STUDY DESIGN: Seventy participants in a trial for induction of labor at term were tested for a -765 G>C cyclooxygenase-2 and an intron 2 length interleukin-1 receptor antagonist gene polymorphism. RESULTS: The interleukin-1 receptor antagonist allele 2 frequency was 33.3% in the 12 women who delivered at < or =10 hours, compared with 13.8% in those delivered >10 hours (P = .03). The interleukin-1 receptor antagonist allele 2 frequency was 25.0% in women induced because of postdates as opposed to 7.9% induced for other indications (P = .01). The cyclooxygenase-2 allele C frequency was 30.0% in 35 women delivered at < or =20 hours as opposed to 11.4% in women delivered at >20 hours (P = .01). The cyclooxygenase-2 allele C frequency was 26.9% in 26 subjects induced because of postdates as opposed to 13.6% induced for other indications (P = .07). CONCLUSION: Cyclooxygenase-2 allele C and interleukin-1 receptor antagonist allele 2 are associated with a reduced time interval from labor induction to delivery.
