Association of selected polymorphisms in GPX4, COMT, pre-miR-125a, pre-miR-10a, and pre-miR-323b genes in Iranian women with idiopathic recurrent pregnancy loss: A case-control study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) is a major concern among women worldwide. However, the exact mechanisms underlying miscarriage are not well understood. Recent evidence suggests that single nucleotide polymorphisms in various genes, especially miRNAs, may be responsible for RPL.

Objective

We surveyed the association between polymorphisms in pre-miR-125a, pre-miR-10a, pre-miR-323b, GPX4, and GPX4 in Iranian women with idiopathic RPL.

Materials and methods

DNA was extracted from blood samples of 116 women with idiopathic RPL and 89 healthy women as controls who had previously had at least two successful pregnancies. Polymerase chain reaction was used for the amplification of the genes. Genotype screening along with SNaPshot were performed to detec
