ABSTRACT: Purpose
The aim of this study was to investigate the potential association of matrix metalloproteinase 7 (MMP7) -181 A/G and MMP12 -82 A/G functional single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) with idiopathic recurrent spontaneous abortion (IRSA) in Slovenian reproductive couples.Methods
A case-control study was conducted on 149 couples with 3 or more consecutive idiopathic spontaneous pregnancy loses and 149 women and men with at least 2 live births and no history of pregnancy complications. Genotyping of MMP7 -181 A/G and MMP12 -82 A/G SNPs was performed using polymerase chain reaction and restriction fragment length polymorphism methods.Results
There were no statistically significant differences in the distribution of MMP7 -181 A/G and MMP12 -82 A/G genotype, allele, or haplotype frequencies between IRSA patients and controls, as well as patients' primary and secondary IRSA. We also found no association of MMP7 -181 A/G and MMP12 -82 A/G genotypes, alleles, and haplotypes with IRSA.Conclusions
We found no evidence to support the association between IRSA and MMP7 -181 A/G and MMP12 -82 A/G SNPs in Slovenian reproductive couples.
