Data confidence 85 high
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Background/Objectives: Preeclampsia is a multifactorial disorder with a possible genetic component. While numerous studies have explored genetic susceptibility, validation remains inconsistent. The aim was to assess the association between hypertension-related polymorphisms and preeclampsia risk. Methods: A case–control study was conducted in Karaganda, Kazakhstan (n = 95). Sixty SNPs were genotyped using the QuantStudio™ 12K Flex system. Genotype–phenotype associations were evaluated using five inheritance models and statistical analysis in R. Results: Significant associations were found for rs2516839 (C/T: OR = 5.28; 95% CI: 1.53–18.15), rs17672135 (T/T: OR = 3.48; CI: 1.05–11.5), and rs10757278 (A/G: OR = 0.3; CI: 0.11–0.83). However, wide confidence intervals suggest potential limitations in sample size and generalizability. Conclusions: While these polymorphisms show promise as genetic markers of preeclampsia risk, their clinical application requires further validation in larger, multi-ethnic cohorts.
