Factor XIII VaU34Leu polymorphism and risk of recurrent pregnancy loss in Iranian population： a case control study

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 to...

Summary: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.
