Abstract
In summary, COMT Val158Met polymorphism is positively associated with the increased risk of pre-eclampsia among pregnant women, especially the homozygous carriers. It could be of value to investigate its association with pre-eclampsia in combination with additional risk factors. However, very large studies with different ethnic population are required to accurately demonstrate the role of this candidate gene in development of pre-eclampsia.
