Do Genetic Variants Modify the Effect of Smoking on Risk of Preeclampsia in Pregnancy?. American Journal of Perinatology, 41(1), 44-52. PMCID: PMC10127527

Abstract

OBJECTIVE: Maternal smoking is associated with as much as a 50% reduced risk of preeclampsia, despite increasing risk of other poor pregnancy outcomes that often co-occur with preeclampsia, such as preterm birth and fetal growth restriction. Researchers have long sought to understand whether this perplexing association is biologically based, or a result of noncausal mechanisms. We examined whether smoking-response genes modify the smoking-preeclampsia association to investigate potential biological explanations.
STUDY DESIGN: We conducted a nested case-control study within the Norwegian Mother, Father and Child Birth Cohort (1999-2008) of 2,596 mother-child dyads. We used family-based log-linear Poisson regression to examine modification of the maternal smoking-preeclampsia relationship by maternal and fetal single nucleotide polymorphisms involved in cellular processes related to components of cigarette smoke (n = 1,915 with minor allele frequency
