Molecular Mechanisms of Recurrent Pregnancy Loss

Authors

Abstract:

Introduction: Pregnancy and health is the process in which the egg is fertilized and being able to survive. When pregnancy occurs under some conditions and the fetus is being at risk, it will lead to abortion that occurs involuntarily and spontaneously. Abortions that occur more than two or three times are called recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL). Various etiological factors involved in RPL, including environmental, pathological and genetic factors. The environmental factors that often related to an inappropriate lifestyle, and endanger the pregnancy. The pathological factors are including autoimmune, infectious, endocrine and anatomical factors. The genetic factors are including several structural and chromosomal abnormalities. The majority of chromosomal abnormalities are including trisomy, polyploidy, and monosomy X. The structural abnormalities due to chromosomal cleavage, which may be balanced or unbalanced. However, a large number of these abortions do not have any clear reason, so molecular studies have shown that these types of recurrent pregnancy losses are related to the gene disorders of the mother. The function of these genes shows that they are associated with the process of formation, implantation and maintenance, fetal growth and development, and so on. This review focuses on the genetic and molecular abnormalities that may involve in the occurrence of recurrent pregnancy loss to choose the appropriate treatment for couples who suffer from RPL, based on the type of disorder.

I-24: New Molecular Aspects in Recurrent Pregnancy Loss

Background Recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) is usually defined as three or more consecutive pregnancy losses before 20th gestational week. Many etiological factors have been considered as cause of RPL including genetic factors, uterine anatomical defects, endocrine abnormalities, thrombotic and immunologic factors. Nevertheless, the cause of RPL remains unknown in around half of the patients desp...

I-32: Predictive Factors of Recurrent Pregnancy Loss

Background Accurate prevalence figures are not available, but it has been estimated that 1-2% of women have recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL), defined as three or more consecutive losses of intrauterine pregnancy in the first trimester. Half of whom have no identifiable cause. Recent studies of early pregnancy loss, preeclampsia, pregnancy complications such a hydatidiform mole suggests that these...

Recurrent pregnancy loss

Recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) refers to the consecutive loss of three or more clinically recognized pregnancies prior to the 20th week of gestation (excluding ectopic, molar and biochemical pregnancies). RPL is classified into two categories: primary RPL, which consists of repeated miscarriages in which a pregnancy has never been carried to viability; and secondary RPL, in which a live birth h...

Epidemiology of Recurrent Pregnancy Loss

Spontaneous abortion (SAB) is defined as the expulsion of a fetus before 20 weeks of gestation or weighing less than 500 g.’ Losses after 20 weeks are described as stillbirths or premature births and, generally, have different etiologies than losses earlier in gestation. The vast majority of SABs occur before 12 weeks of gestation. Those occurring at less than 8 weeks often do not contain an em...

P-89: Recurrent Pregnancy Loss and Genetic Counseling

Background: Recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) is a common and distressing disorder. RPL is a devastating reproductive problem affecting approximately 5% of couples trying to conceive. If we camper the rate of miscarriage in couples may experience RPL with the pregnancy loss rate in general population we may calculate that it is at least two or three times higher than expected. This study aimed to ...

Recurrent pregnancy loss: current perspectives

Recurrent pregnancy loss is an important reproductive health issue, affecting 2%-5% of couples. Common established causes include uterine anomalies, antiphospholipid syndrome, hormonal and metabolic disorders, and cytogenetic abnormalities. Other etiologies have been proposed but are still considered controversial, such as chronic endometritis, inherited thrombophilias, luteal phase deficiency,...
