Hemangioma-related gene polymorphisms in the pathogenesis of intraventricular hemorrhage in preterm infants.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

The aim of this study was to evaluate the possible relationship between four single nucleotide polymorphisms of hemangioma-linked genes encoding for anthrax toxin receptor 1 (ANTXR1 G976A), R kinase insert domain receptor (KDR T1444C), adrenoceptor beta 2 (ADRB C79CG), and insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor (IGF-1R G3174A) and the occurrence of IVH in a population of preterm infants.

Methods

The study includes a population of 105 infants born from 24 + 0 to 32 + 0 weeks of gestation and hospitalized at the Department of Neonatology (III level hospital) of Poznan University of Medical Science. Intraventricular hemorrhage was diagnosed with the use of cranial ultrasound. The classification of intraventricular bleeding was based on the Papile IVH classification.
