Previous studies have demonstrated a common variant of the obesity and fat mass-related  FTO  gene, rs9939609, to be associated with obesity, type 2 diabetes, and elevated blood pressure. We investigated whether the  FTO  SNP rs9939609 is associated with the risk of preeclampsia (PE) in a Finnish study population. 485 women with prior PE and 449 women who had given birth after a normotensive pregnancy were genotyped (TaqMan) for the SNP rs9939609. The prevalences of genotypes AA, AT, and TT were 15%, 53%, and 32%, respectively, among the PE cases, and 16%, 47%, and 37%, respectively, among the controls ( P  = 0.199). We found no evidence of an association between the  FTO  SNP rs9939609 and PE. However, our cases were dominated by severe, early-onset PE. Thus, we are unable to exclude an association with the milder, later-onset form of the disease in which the role of maternal metabolic predisposition could be more significant.
