Susceptibility to pregnancy complications
Variant & Polymorphism other
  • ANGPT1 rs2507800 polymorphism may have a potential role in screening women to predict the risk of these pregnancy complications
  • Candidate gene
    Marker
  • a single measurement of serum ANGPT1 and ANGPT2 at 6-8 weeks of gestation designate the outcome of a pregnancy, as their levels are significantly decreased in failed than normal pregnancies
  • serum ANGPT1 showed potential to discriminate missed abortions (MA) from ectopic pregnancies (EP)
  • Therapy target

    ANIMAL & CELL MODELS
  • mice overexpressing Angpt1
  • in mice variant COMP-Angpt1 ameliorates leukocyte adhesion and reinforces endothelial tight junctions during endotoxemia
