Rs2161983

This SNP is located on chromosome 2q22-23, in the activin receptor type 2 gene (ACVR2A) gene.

A study of 1139 Norwegian women with one or more pre-eclamptic pregnancies and 2269 controls (women with normal pregnancies) identified four SNPs in this region (rs1424941, rs1014064, rs2161983 and rs3768687) as associated with higher risk for pre-eclampsia.
