Problem In this study, we aim to investigate if the expression of TWIST in the first‐trimester placenta and decidua has any association with spontaneous abortion (SAB) and recurrent pregnancy losses (RPL). Methods Expression of TWIST was measured in the first‐trimester trophoblast and decidual tissu...
