Résumé
Spontaneous preterm birth (sPTB) is a global health issue. Studies suggest infection and infection-based inflammatory responses are major risk factors for sPTB. Considering the important role of anti-inflammatory proteins in pregnancy, the study aimed to find the association between anti-inflammatory LGALS13 gene variants IVS2-22 A/G (rs2233706) and IVS3+72 T/A (rs2233708) and the risk of sPTB during Chlamydia trachomatis, Mycoplasma hominis and Ureaplasma urealyticum infection in Indian population. Placental samples of 160 sPTB and 160 term women were collected. Pathogens were detected by PCR. The genotyping of LGALS13 gene variants IVS2-22 A/G (rs2233706) and IVS3+72 T/A (rs2233708) was done by qualitative real-time PCR using allelic discrimination method (VIC- and FAM-labeled). The frequency of AG or GG genotype of LGALS13 IVS2-22A/G polymorphism (rs2233706) was 75.5% in infected sPTB cases and 14.4% in uninfected sPTB cases and 7.3% in term birth controls (p < .0001), while the frequency of TA or AA genotype of LGALS13 IVS3+72T/A polymorphism (rs2233708) was 83.6% in infected sPTB cases and 18% in uninfected sPTB cases and 12.7% in term birth controls (p < .0001). The genotypic frequencies for both the variants of LGALS13 were statistically significant (p < .0001) in the infected sPTB versus uninfected sPTB and term birth controls. Study reveals strong association between the presence of immunological gene variants LGALS13 IVS2-22 A/G (rs2233706) and LGALS13 IVS3+72 T/A (rs2233708) and risk of sPTB during C. trachomatis, M. hominis and U. urealyticum infection.
