This study explores the association of the rs5707 polymorphism in the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) with PE\/E and related neonatal outcomes. Materials and Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study involving 400 mother\u2013newborn dyads at the \u201cPius Brinzeu\u201d Emergency Clinical Hospital Timisoara. Participants were divided into a control group (254 normotensive women) and a PE\/E group (146 women with PE\/E). Genotyping for the rs5707 polymorphism was performed using real-time PCR, and statistical analyses assessed associations with maternal body mass index (BMI) and neonatal outcomes. Results: The AA genotype of rs5707 was significantly associated with a reduced risk of PE\/E and more favorable neonatal outcomes, including higher Apgar scores, greater birth weights, and longer gestational ages. Conversely, the AC genotype correlated with increased maternal BMI and adverse neonatal outcomes. Odds ratios highlighted the protective effect of the AA genotype against PE\/E and the increased risk associated with the AC genotype. Conclusions: This study revealed the critical role of the rs5707 polymorphism in PE\/E development and neonatal health. Genetic screening for rs5707 could enhance early identification and personalized intervention strategies, improving outcomes for both mothers and neonates. Further research is needed to validate these findings across diverse populations and to uncover the underlying mechanisms.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/diagnostics14131366","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,27]],"date-time":"2024-06-27T08:57:50Z","timestamp":1719478670000},"page":"1366","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Genetic Insights and Neonatal Outcomes in Preeclampsia and Eclampsia: A Detailed Analysis of the RS5707 Genotype"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Flavius George","family":"Socol","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Doctoral School, \u201cVictor Babes\u201d University of Medicine and Pharmacy, Eftimie Murgu Sq.
