主 题:factor XIII Iranian population recurrent pregnancy loss Va134Leu polymorphism
摘 要:BACKGROUND: Recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) is a heterogeneous condition and thrombophilias have been considered as a probable cause. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of the coagulation factor XIII Va134Leu polymorphism among women with unexplained RPL. METHODS: A total of 140 women with a history of unexplained RPL and 100 age-matched healthy fertile women were recruited. The presence of FXIII Va134Leu polymorphism among the cases and controls was investigated using PCR-RFLP method. RESULTS: Genotype analyses of the subjects revealed that the patients had a significantly higher prevalence of V/L and L/L than the controls (P〈 0.05): 33.5% vs. 15%, and 9.2% vs. 2%, respectively. CONCLUSION: These results indicate a significant association between FXIII Va134Leu polymorphism and unexplained RPL in the Iranian patient.
