Abstract
Background: Recurrent miscarriage (RM) is one of the major problems of public health globally. The thrombin-activatable fibrinolysis inhibitor (TAFI) gene is a plasma zymogen that regulates both fibrinolysis and inflammation. Genetic variants within TAFI gene are presumed to be associated with development of RM. This case-control study aimed to investigate the association of TAFI +505A>G polymorphism with RM in Iranian women referred to Meybod Genetic Center.
Methods: Fifty women with RM (at least 2 miscarriages) and 50 healthy women with no history of miscarriage or other fertility complications were participated in this study. The TAFI +505A>G polymorphism was genotyped by allele specific PCR (AS-PCR) assay.
Results: The mean age of cases with RM and controls was 27.25 ± 4.31 and 28.42 ± 3.22 years, respectively. The frequency of GG genotype and G allele was 0.00% in patients and controls. There was no significant difference between RM cases and controls in terms of +505A>G genotypes and alleles.
Conclusion: This study results indicated that there was no significant relationship between the TAFI +505A>G polymorphism and RM risk in Iranian women. However, further rigorous, studies with a larger sample size and different ethnicity are necessary to confirm our findings.
