Abstract
Background: Preeclampsia (PE) is a gestational disease associated with developing hypertension and proteinuria.
Aim: This study investigated the effects of AKT1 polymorphisms, a key enzyme in cellular signal transmission that regulates various cellular processes associated with PE.
Methods: The PCR-RFLP method was employed to genotype AKT1 rs2494732, rs1130233, and rs1130214 polymorphisms. In silico analysis was conducted using SpliceAid2, RNAsnp, and STRING tools.
Results: The AKT1 rs1130233 variant was associated with an increased risk of PE in log-additive and allelic models. A significant relationship was also observed between the rs1130214 variant and PE risk in several genetic models. Results from the SpliceAid2 server indicated that the rs2494732 A to G substitution creates a new binding site for the SRP-40 protein. Several key protein binding sites were lost for rs1130214 (C-to-A) and rs1130233 (C-to-T) mutations. However, RNAsnp analysis did not show significant changes in secondary structure.
Conclusion: In conclusion, the AKT1 rs1130233 and rs1130214 polymorphisms were found to be associated with an increased risk of PE.
