Genetic diagnosis of peripheral blood interleukin-1 in premature infants based on bioinformatics and optical imaging

Preterm labor is a severe health concern among expectant mothers, affecting approximately 5 % to 7 % of all pregnancies worldwide, and is associated with various factors, including genes, peripheral blood, and immunological functions. In our study, we examined the role of familial genetics in preterm labor to address knowledge gaps and provide more evidence on the concept. We searched the GEO database for applicable genes and found that the GSE26315 and GSE73685 series were relevant. We then performed an analysis using the GEO2R, GEPIA2, STRING, and KEGG enrichment pathways. Our findings are consistent with the literature regarding the association between preterm birth and familial genetics, peripheral blood, and interleukin-1. Interleukin-1 exploits immunological functions by inducing uterine inflammation, creating an unfavorable environment for fetal survival. Similarly, peripheral blood induces premature labor, with higher levels in the amniotic fluid indicating a higher rate of preterm birth. Inheritance of the familial genes responsible for preterm birth passes down the trait.
